“We’ve received reports about long lines, polling sites that have opened late and broken machines,” Kristen Clarke, executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said. The Lawyers’ Committee maintains a national voter protection hotline. “What’s disturbing is that these problems appear widespread, and not isolated.”
“It has been most disturbing to hear about voters who have given up. Voters who were not able to withstand the long wait times, voters who had one shot this morning,” she added. “Those are people who may be flatly disenfranchised.”
“It’s a hot, flaming, f—ing mess,” Nse Ufot, executive director of New Georgia Project, said in a text Tuesday. At multiple sites in Fulton County, new voting machines were down, some sites were waiting for technical support and others had difficulty logging into the machines, Ufot said.
