Several voters, saying they had difficulty casting their ballots, blamed the machines for the long lines. State election officials pushed back on that, blaming the problems on inexperienced election workers and coronavirus-related safety issues.

State election officials have blamed inexperienced election workers for the problems as well as safety issues related to the coronavirus, including the heightened use of absentee ballots, and have pushed back on suggestions that malfunctioning equipment is causing delays. Several voters with whom CNN has spoken, however, have said they were having difficulty using election machines.

"Raffensperger has repeatedly said that the pandemic was going to slow down the voting process, noting that in addition to delays due to social distancing and disinfecting practices, the state has fewer poll workers to man precincts due to concerns over the pandemic. "With our health protocols, we are guaranteed to see lines tomorrow. That is why I have spent so much time trying to get voters to vote absentee," Raffensperger said Monday.

Here me out: porta potty stations (nice ones with sink stations) in polling stations that are prone to have 'issues' AND provide food for those who are waiting...A Georgian can arrange that with donations. It's only a temporary solution though WhenWeAllVote GAVoterSuppression

I believe things are supposed to be planned for. Making sure election workers know what to do. Making sure machines are working properly. That their are enough ballets! It's not like they've never done an election before!

Yeah sure blame coronavirus when all else fails

Once again the machines are messing up... in 2020 there should be no reason for technology to fail this much!

Another lie. Voter suppression by those in power is nothing new.
