You people are ridiculous.

People are lining up for hours weeks ahead of election day because they know their state is trying to take away their vote. What you are seeing is the mix of actual voter suppression - limited polling stations; few working machines - with the reaction to that suppression.

That's why people are lining up for hours this far ahead of an election. Because they know that the GOP is doing what it can to take away their vote, and they are saying NO.

Exactly. Why are there lines for something that should take no more than 10-15 minutes? Think real hard.

Careful.. they may get a brain aneurysm.

A vote today counts the same as a vote on October 28 or November 3. But if people prefer to wait in line, then that is their choice.

I don't think you get it, and that is your privilege.

These precincts ALWAYS have lines because they have 2 or 3 voting machines for 100,000+ people. Waiting until election day means not getting to vote at all. It is great that YOU happen to have a precinct where you can vote, that is accessible and minimal lines. That isn't what it looks like in minority precincts in majority GOP states and counties.

You are incorrect. All the news reports I have seen state that the delays today are due to high turnout.

Sure. High turnout + few voting machines + glitching voting machines = huge lines. Duh.

Thank goodness people are smart enough to know the voting needs to be spread out over weeks in order to allow everyone to get to vote in person.

Anytime someone has to wait more than half an hour to vote, it is suppression.

This is voter suppression. People are willing and eager to wait because this is the first real action we can take against Trump.

Except for his visit to Nats Park, Trump stays in a bubble and never has to hear what the majority Americans think of him. But he’ll hear it in November.

Um, there are 22 more days until the election (and 16 more days with the polls open). I don't know why so many people are trying to vote on the first day the polls open.

Maybe that was the only day some voters could get a ride to the polls? Not a whole lot of public transportation in that part of Georgia. Maybe that was the only day they could get off work? Maybe they wanted to make sure that they could sort out any issues with their ballot before the polls close in November? Maybe they heard about Stacey Abrams’ experience when she tried to cast her vote in the 2018 gubernatorial election? Could be a million reasons.

I’m confused about why people on this thread think the early voters are anti-Trump? Isn’t Georgia mostly a Rebublican state (both senators and most representatives?)

You are SO RIGHT, PP. Who knows?

Everyone, whether right- or left-leaning, deserves to vote with support of fellow citizens. I'm sending some pizza -- obviously non-partisan, but in my heart I am sending love to the misattributed Republicans. Thank you for the reminder.

We’ve been extremely lucky in the past that the lines to vote at our location in Fairfax County have always been short to nonexistent. It appears that I’d spend much more time waiting in line at the Government Center for early voting. I’ll take my chances voting on Election Day. In the unlikely event that we have to wait for hours, we’ll do it, despite significant physical impairments. Nobody should have to wait for over an hour to vote. Three to ten hours is outrageous. I really have to applaud the voters in Georgia who refuse to submit to obvious voter suppression.
