Georgia's secretary of state and state House speaker have called for investigations into voting delays in Atlanta and across Georgia on the day of the state's primary

The announcement of the investigations came after a rocky start for the state's primary on Tuesday morning as voters, primarily in the populous Atlanta area, were met with long lines and delays. "The voting situation today in certain precincts in Fulton and DeKalb counties is unacceptable," Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, said.

later confirmed in an email to CNN that ballots were being delivered to voters last Wednesday. Meanwhile, CNN Weather's Brandon Miller says voters in the greater Atlanta metro area are facing some weather conditions that will make standing in long voting lines uncomfortable. Although temperatures will only be in the mid-80s, humidity around 80-90% will make it feel much warmer -- over 90 degrees.

I have traveled. There is not the division among people that the media and the politicians try to promote. I look at the heart of a person. Most are nice people. Most do not want the division. If the media and politicians truly cared about all of us, they would promote unity.

TMN3218 So they’re gonna investigate...themselves?

TMN3218 People went too many years without voting. The shutting down of polling places didn't happen overnight.

HOW? Does CNN discuss the Prez giving a speech on 'race,' while not even once noting that Stephen Miller, (the same guy whose emails revealed he sent over 200 advocating white supramecy) is still sitting in the WH as Orange man's closest advisor HOW? After last 2 weeks

WTF Georgia, they will do anything to keep people from voting, how many investigations before they make changes to help, not hurt voters, oh wait, GOP will make sure that doesn't happen because they know they will LOSE!

House Democrats unveil police reform bill that would ban chokeholds nationwide“We are banning that technique,' Rep. Brown says of police reform legislation that would ban the use of carotid neck restraints and chokeholds, following George Floyd's death. 'It’s very important that you eliminate the obstacles to prosecuting bad cops.' Get guns out of the hands of thugs. Stop the purchase at gun shows, do background checks, buy back guns for food stamps. Guns are the ruination of good policing, as the thugs have better guns than cops. The lives of cops are on the line for 8 hours a day! That’s the problem. Choke holds are illegal in most city’s and states except you guessed it blue states. Do they truly either hate America or they are bumbling fools? Which is it? Blah blah blah, it's not like they don't already know these holds are dangerous. Most PDs already have this rule--that's not stopping them from choking people to death anyway, so what else?
