[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Incredible story from the Atlanta Journal Constitution on the impact of closing precincts in Georgia.

"Precinct closures and longer distances likely prevented an estimated 54,000 to 85,000 voters from casting ballots on Election Day last year."

And, let's look at  what you DIDN'T bother posting.....

[quote]Still, in many ways, voting has never been easier in Georgia.

Georgia leads the nation in automatic voter registration, with more than 350,000 new voters signed up when they obtained their driver’s licenses since last year’s election. In addition, the state provides three weeks of in-person early voting and voting by mail for anyone who requests a ballot.

There are a record 7.4 million registered voters in Georgia, though about 300,000 of them are scheduled to be canceled this month because they’ve moved or haven’t cast a ballot since 2012.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said the convenience of voting resulted in record turnout during last year’s midterm election, with 57% of registered voters participating.He predicted heavy turnout, more than 5 million voters, in next year’s presidential election as well.[/quote][/quote]
It doesn’t matter if it’s easy for you to register, when it’s difficult for you to actually vote at an overcrowded polling place with huge lines because the secretary of state who was running for governor closed the two polling places closest to you.[/quote]
