[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there something that prevents polling places that saw extreme lines from obtaining more machines and poll workers in the next election cycle? [/quote]

[quote]Secretary Raffensperger has worked with legislative partners to propose new legislation that will, first and foremost, take a hatchet to long lines before the ballot box. The new bill will require counties to track wait times and take action if voters have to wait more than an hour to cast their ballot. The counties will measure the wait times at least three times on election day and report those times back to the Secretary of State. If the wait time is longer than one hour, county election officials will be advised to split the precinct, provide more voting equipment, or hire additional poll workers for the next election. In conjunction with added flexibility in how local election officials can allocate equipment, the new policies will provide Georgian voters with the comfort that something is being done about frustrating long lines on election day.[/quote]

[quote]Many of the measures in SB 202 will streamline the election administration process at the local level, such as allowing officials to process absentee ballots sooner, require them to count ballots nonstop once the polls close and allow flexibility with voting equipment for smaller, lower-turnout races. Poll workers could serve in neighboring counties, after the pandemic saw a shortage of trained workers.

Precincts with more than 2,000 voters that have lines longer than an hour at three different points throughout the day have to add more machines, add more staff or split up the poll. [/quote]
