My takeaway from being a poll worker in Gwinnett County Georgia yesterday. Gwinnett is a large Minority Majority [View all]

county in the Atlanta suburbs & recently flipped from Ruby Red to Blue.

The precinct location I had been working was changed to a new location 3 miles away from the previous one. The vast majority of voters said they were not notified of the location change and said they found the precinct after going to 3 - 4 other locations (where their neighbors voted). Another large group of voters said they received a letter in the mail notifying them of the location change MARCH 11th, the day before the election!!! Even I was unaware of the location change till a week before the election.

Voters would ask if this is where they would vote in November & we would tell them to check the Secretary of State's website before the election(s).

Fortunately, this is a middle/upper class neighborhood where the majority of people have cars.

Is this some kind of trickery leading up to November & the municipal elections??!
