GA 2002 fiasco: Heavy turnout,despite rain; low votes, despite machines

[TruthIsAll]

I searched for Georgia using this new super memo search engine:

Note the latest polls: Dems Barnes, Cleland led in all.
What happened? I couldn't link to the polling articles.

In Union City, things were a mess at this voting precinct. There was no end in sight to the lines because only one voting machine was working. It took ones lady two hours to vote.

"I was pretty upset," said Andrea Phifer. "Very upset. I don't understand how you can send 14 machines and 1 card. I mean, I don't understand since we were told since 6:15 a.m. that the cards were enroute. They finally got here. They finally got through but that was hard."

They finally got things working here much to the relief of Atlanta City Councilman Ivory Lee Young Jr.

"As you know it is raining and as difficult as it is to come out and vote anyway the challenge was, will they stay?" Young said.

He said he counted 16 people who left in frustration. But by and large things are going swimmingly today...."

That sounds so stupid it is unbelievable.

5. Yeah, and no significant shift in the demographics, either

according to the SoS, who put that strange press release out this spring, sorta kinda contradicting her post-election pronouncements on the subject.
