Loeffler wants a hand recount on her Covid test.

This redo mentality of the right is getting out of hand!

I've always been in and out in 5 minutes. It might've been 15 minutes in 2016.

Amazing to see these kind of wait times on day 3 of early voting. Day one they sort of dismissed, calling it "the perfect storm", since it was the first day, a holiday, and "glitches".

Voting should be sooo much easier and quicker to accomplish. I've never seen so many people so dedicated to making their vote count.

Imagine a Division 1 College Football program, that every year, the first game of the season, they have some random ticket scanning problem that creates a 2-3 hour delay in getting into the stadium. At half-time, there's still 40,000 fans waiting to get in.

The end of the line finally enters, just in time to catch the post-game fight song.

And it happens... like clockwork... every year.

For those waiting for absentee ballots in Gwinnett County..

The My Voter page says my ballot was issued Sept 18th. As of today, I've still not received it.

I called the Gwinnett's Elections office (678-226-7210) today, was told they didn't start mailing ballots out until this past monday (9/28), and have been mailing them out in batches all week.

The lady I spoke with suggested waiting until 10/9 to call back if I haven't received the ballot.

While the phone call made me feel a little better, what I don't understand is this:

September 15th was the first legal day a registrar could send absentee ballots out.

Everyone with a heartbeat has known for over a month what the Post Office has been pulling. Why does Gwinnett sit on the ballots for two weeks or more before sending them??

I'll update this thread with any more info, I encourage others in Gwinnett to post their experiences here.

Have you received your ballot yet?

Five hours ago, my congressman thanked trump for standing up for Americans.

Jody Hice is a POS. That is all.

Always thought trump sounds more like a Phil Hendrie character than a real person.

Hendrie's characters were more believable and entertaining.
