Perdue, a close Trump ally, is seeking a second term in November as Republicans look to hold the White House and a Senate majority. He drew no GOP primary opposition.
Criticism of the Trump administration’s response on both fronts has added fuel to Democrats’ ambitions of winning in Georgia, where Republicans dominate statewide elections, but Democrats are making gains. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Monday predicted longer lines. He also said his office won’t begin to release results until the last precinct has closed. He predicted the winners may not be known for days.
Hope that the epidemic will be eliminated as soon as possible
Elections2020
The Georgia governor and that administration are failing the people of that state .Becsuse they want it that way to stay inpower . They are fast lines in some towns in Georgia then you go other areas it’s lines two three hour waits why because they don’t want you to vote
Georgians need to stand up for their voting rights as the Republicans try to suppress their votes ..They will win !!!
OK, here is the Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, the man providing election oversight. Elections are a HOT topic now...
Of course it is the racist 🐮 are telling voters in Georgia We’re not going to allow you to change, We have Gerrymandered start the courts and have a corrupt AG Bill bar. We’re going to turn this country back 240 years Where the Ku Klux Klan 👨👩👧👧 of color religion!
Election Day needs to be election week.
realDonaldTrump will do anything for a win!
So we should not have practiced social distancing? OMG Social distancing caused lines! Heaven forbid!
Georgians demand mail in voting! We use here in Denver, CO, makes voting a breeze.
Was this done intentionally to promote mail in ballots?
...and how do the elderly vote in situations like this? Promote VoteByMailNOW. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica 🗽
All that was is a crooked Governor playing the Republican game don’t let a lot of people vote . Just like he open the state up now virus numbers go up . The voters in that state need to throw out the crooks clean the slate of this corruption and move on from civil war
alexi
In the same areas that always have problems, the rest went smooth & had great turnouts too!
And this is why we need VoteByMail!
Blame on Covid19 with installation of election heist during a USA pandemic as a historical elections coup, stealing our democracy away from us won't be ingornored.
I’m sure they wrote these stories 3 months ago. It’s not going to work. The Democrats are not going to be allowed to cheat because they are crying about imaginary “voter suppression”. Lose with some dignity.
Ahh, democracy. Ain’t it beautiful? Of, by, and for the corrupt politicians and their corporate donors and protected by their thuggish police force. The American dream was awesome, the American reality is shit. Tear it all down and start over, this experiment failed.
Why can’t we do national mail in ballots votes? You will have the physical records to find anybody who vote multiple times, if any. Why we put ppl through like this in a pandemic?
Dominion Voting Systems must not be allowed to handle the November elections in georgia!
This a trick of the Georgia governor...people don't give up keep voting
Call it what it is ! Purposeful voter suppression by the GOP.
It is becoming more obvious to the common folk that trump and the republicans are trying to keep us from voting in November... STOP NOW!!!!
A shortage of poll workers always makes for a sad day...
Horrible headline. Should be, Georgia Republicans snarl voting in primary amid pandemic.
This is nuts. I have never waited more than a minute at my local polling station in 12 years. Is thus normal in some parts of the country?
“Equipment failures”
No morals. No shame. No integrity. As usual, GOP has to **cheat** to win. GOP = the TRUE enemy of the people. Disgusted.
ShirleyRinguet5 THis is URGENt please retweet Georgia Democrats have attempted to STOP ppl from VOTING please CALL Washington WE HAVE to notify Cult45 IMMEDIATELY I have tweeted this & no one has picked up my tweet Thank you
Pathetic that this is what the republicans have to resort to...
It's very sad thing to see.
BrianKemp BrianKemp BrianKemp BrianKemp BrianKrmp BrianKemp BrianKemp BrianKemp Blatant Voter Suppression GOPVoterSuppression GOPDeadPartyWalking GOPCorruptionOverCountry

This is URGENT Cult45 please READ you must know what Democrats r up to at the VOTINGPOLLS We the People can not tolerate Voter Supperation Please retweet call inform Washington what Democrats are doing in Geogria to STOP us from VOTING in PERSON
The question is... is there a pattern here? Who are the voters who are being denied of their right to vote?
Liberals are unable to figure out the machines, nobody's shocked I hope, it's liberal run
They should have used the five P’s method
How is it we cannot seem to do anything about this year after year after year of voter suppression?
MailInVoting MailInBallots SOLVES THE PROBLEM
As my Grandma used to say 'That's a damn shame!' VOTE BY MAIL!
VoterSupressionGeorgia
'Some voters'... This should read: 'Majority BLACK voters' purposely kept to wait for hours to cast ballots. Voting has been CORRUPTED ON PURPOSE by GovKemp and GaRepublicans.
SirLancelotWOLF I would still wait
So. Working as intended then.
No faith in Georgia getting its act together.
This is absolutely unacceptable! Voting is sacred. Why can't GA officials get it right? Somebody needs to lose his/her job.
Unconstitutional!!!!!!!
This is total BS and whoever's in charge should be fired.
I’m from Seattle and never had a problem voting by mail ! I’m in Nevads now and it’s our first mail in .. finally !!
Every Real Housewife of Atlanta is on at least her second pair of new titties, but y’all voting equipment faulty as fuck? Did no one check in with these poll stations leading up to today, to ensure all systems were ready? Get it together, Georgia. 🤦🏾♀️
They should just all go home.
This needs to be investigated, can you handle it
so an easily manipulated election? Got it...take note for NOVEMBER realDonaldTrump
Georgia is sure making it hard to say they aren’t suppressing votes
Georgia should be embarrassed
Dress rehearsal for November.
The only failure is GA. The entire South needs to secede.
Of course 😡
'Some' Voters eh? Just 'Some'? Sick cover for GOP vote fraud. Do better.
Georgia is best known for it’s creative voter suppression tactics. Their at it again.
Those democrats will cheat anyway they can! It’s awful !!
Wow, I'd expect better from ; this headline has been completely whitewashed.
I’m having deja vous with this. More voter suppression from this administration. And, they’re trying to prevent us from using mail-in ballots so this circus show freak can remain in power. Pathetic.
Hmmmm maybe they shouldve been able to vote by mail.
alexi AND the machines, that the election commission recommended against,...low and behold...do not work.
Simple solution: handmarked PaperBallots
I am a Canadian, and I don't understand this. I have worked at Canadian elections, at various levels. No one has ever had to wait three hours, that I know of. We plan to have enough workers and supplies.
Mail in ballots
Voter suppression I see.
tell us something we we did'nt expect nothing can stop whats coming,
Oregon never has this problem! 100% vote by mail!!
Hmm so what party runs Atlanta? Don’t know how but somehow dem screw ups will be blamed on Trump
I bet not a single one complained
Democrats run Georgia. Why surprised?
There you go again Georgia...there you go again...
voter fraud live
It’s been slowed by active VoterSuppression efforts. There is simply no penalty for it, so disenfranchisement continues.
Try harder AP - this only benefits one party.
I love they are NO MASKS. LOVE THIS!!!!
TheValuesVoter This is crazy, then you have some random person showing up to vote that's covid-19 positive 🤦🏼🤦🏼 we need broad absentee voting!
Here’s my rich white neighborhood line
ILoveMySteelers GOP up to their old tricks... And sometimes they work.. They can't win without cheating... In the red states Democrats have to come out in larger numbers... Because the cheat...
200 years to get voting issues sorted out and this, this is why people are rioting.
JoeBiden
Dems played it perfect, let mess this up so we can push mail in voting.
It’s called voter suppression. There, fixed your headline for you
Aaaaaand... this is why people want to vote by mail.
It took me only 4 minutes to vote and get back in my car.
South Carolina went well!
ICYMI
Best of luck to everyone voting in Georgia. vote
What’s trump afraid of? Rigged election
I was in and out in 10 min 10:45a. My DeKalb Co precinct is in a Baptist ⛪ and has had same poll workers for years, so things run like clockwork GAprimaries
and don't forget the voter suppression!
Its called voter suppression. Same as 2018. Same as 2016. Same as 2014. Same as 2012.
Buying machines closed biting locations in black precincts! Please do better.
Still not a reason for general mail in voting, good try AP...
Take a Bigger Chance to Make this a Better Nation
We need to protect OUR right to VOTE . STAY STRONG VOTERS
💯 this was done purposely. BrianKempGA during the last election was throwing out ballots. This is why Stacey Abrams has been working on FairFight
Incompetence!
Probably a Republican scam!
Long lines and a Giant rise in Covid cases also not the right moves made!
Who owns those new voting machines? Which political party has ties to those new machines. Look into that.
No worries. Ready by November
It doesn’t make a difference.
Wow, you mean Kemp, who purged voter rolls before his 2016 razor thin race, is now having problems with voting times in democrat-leaning areas? I’m shocked.
SethAbramson No mention of the GOP closing 80 polling locations or stifling vote by mail huh? Maybe their voter suppression efforts are working?
Weird. This is how they win. We must show up in unprecedented numbers. It’s the only way we win.
And no one is surprised.
You know what would REALLY make things easier...mail in ballots...someone should look into that...
Voting has been complicated by broken voting machines. People around Atlanta have been tweeting about it all day. How is that not your news peg, ?
And Trump is against voting by mail?
Was parked, inside voting & driving away under 20 minutes. Plenty people working with good mix of white & black and male & female, Great sanitizer stations & were wiping machines down between voters Not one hiccup. You need a picture id at your bank, so ya need one here too
TrueFactsStated Buried the lede. Let me fix it for you: 'Some majority minority precincts in Georgia...'
Pretty sure they could have voted by mail. Stand in line or buy a stamp? How much is your time worth?
Suspicious,I think. Don’t you.
Remind me again why voting by mail is so bad?
Voting has never been more important in the 🇺🇸
That’s a Lie, Fulton County GA went very smooth today! Can’t trust MSM - FAKE NEWS!

This is typical voter suppression.

😑😑😑

A_Smart_Liberal What a terrible and misleading headline.
SethAbramson No matter what the reasons, Georgia would have come up with another way to suppress voting
None of this happens in vote-by-mail states Every eligible voter gets a ballot No waiting in line No wasted gas Take as much time as you want to read up; ask your friends Paper record Verify eligibility BEFORE opening ballot You can check online to ensure ballot was received
The best case study to support voting by mail!

why does the black guy kill police in the demonstrate nobody not say about it? is it discrimination? what are you doing? who are discriminate? antifa take advantage of Floyd death to blatant sabotage, rob and democratic party try to bribe the vote, is it right?
YOU MUST VOTE DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED BY THE TRAITORS OF THE GOP
there is some newspapers left wing close to democratic party had told lie, publish a news item not true, to speak ill President Trump or one vote of former President Bus not for President Trump for tenure next. please do not trust democratic party and newspaper left
Odd that this only happens in Republican states.
The democractic party is thinking about the right dominate US, nobody in this party thinking about Nation interests or US people, they are bribe vote of black man for Biden for the election coming, and after that unemployment will increase, enemy bully US again, wait and see
Convenient ways to restrict the right of every American to exercise their right to vote. Wtg Georgia
I would like to appealing to all the leaders of Nations in the world should stop negotiate trade silk road with CCP, there are several countries in Africa falled into their debt trap and they rob maritime port or something like that
I would like to appealing to all the owners of manufacturing plants are operating in china should move to the other countries to operate. you should segregate CCP due to they are expanding all over the world and cause harmful to your countries
The leaders of Taiwan should be careful with CCP, the army always troops are put on a war footing and must be vigilant over the enemy attack scheme, must have contact channel direct to US for help in case CCP suddenly attack, should buy more cruise missile to attack battleship
Republicans suppressing votes. Again
GOP Governor Kemp’s “rigging rehearsal” for November. Trying to top Wisconsin’s “accomplishment” of only opening 5 of 182 polling places in Dem-heavy cities like Milwaukee during their primary. WhatHaveYouGotToLose
There'd best be much coverage of this election today. We're all aware what '18 was about...and it sounds like this one's just as crooked, just as fixed as that was. The Press needs to expose the truth of these suppressed elections--and we all need to VoteByMail2020
SethAbramson 'Some voters in Georgia are having to wait for hours to cast ballots in the state's primary election. Voting has been complicated by a shortage of poll workers and social-distancing precautions' Voting has been complicated by graft, corruption & abusing citizens' rights to vote
You can get a tattoo but their concerned about coronavirus when it's time to vote.
If only they had more money for polling staff and machines, but hey at least there's enough money for the police to be out here looking like master chief
I'd still wait - vote voting
Let’s compare these voting precincts to those in the suburbs. I suspect they’re suppressing black residents of Georgia the same way they did when kemp stole the election.
'Some Voters' 😉wink😉 RacistGOP
SethAbramson
lindaworkerbee Follow Washington State and vote entirely by mail in ballot. Sit on your sofa and make out your ballot. Drop it in the mail box and done! 🇺🇸☺️
Never forget what Chief Justice Roberts has done to our country VotingRights ChiefJusticeRoberts
Lost time and missing work is Trump's modern polltax
SethAbramson People should bring foldable chairs and portable power supplies
SethAbramson Who would have ever expected less of Georgia?
Suppressed voters should contact U.S. Attorney's Office, Atlanta GA division: (404) 581-6000 Complaints re: violations of the federal voting rights laws can be made to the Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section in Washington, D.C. 1-800-253-3931 or (202) 307-2767.
SethAbramson And just by coincidence, the areas with the problems are all Democrat-leaning areas. Is there any election in a red state that isn't rigged? Obviously not, or it wouldn't be a red state any more.
Your headline should also have included machines not working. A lot of people won't read the full article.
SethAbramson Mail in voting solves this. staceyabrams How are you reacting to this?
SethAbramson How convenient for GovKemp and his GOP goons.
The Secretary of State in Georgia admitted on tv that there WOULD NOT be enough polling places. The original primaries were postponed from March 24th. He had over TWO MONTHS to plan, adjust and manage for adequate polls. Former sec of state now governor brian stole elections too
And the machines
Vote by mail!!!!!!
So why didn’t you vote early when you had a chance
Georgia. Checking in again.
Subtle form of voter suppression..
How much has china paid you?
Let’s be real, the long lines are because many states have closed a huge number of voting sites, hindering many citizens right to vote! Georgia isn’t the only state doing this. It’s becoming a huge nationwide problem! ProtectOurVotes
GOP Georgia: “Open the economy!” Also GOP Georgia: “Let’s vote ‘safely’ guys, or not at all *cough cough*”
and this is just the primary... Can only imagine the struggle in the general election
AP, We bring you light and fresh breath of air ;)
I don't know about this, the new voting computers cut down the time to vote by at least half. Probably fake news. More likely the number of precincts have been cut so more people are voting at fewer precincts.
I can’t imagine why Georgia wants to keep people from voting...
I would wait for days to vote but why is this only happening now ? This is BS, sounds like a lib is behind it.
This might be a good time will folks standing in line to understand this is happening because of THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN YOUR STATE! U want a repeat of this in NOV., in 2022 & 2024? Keep hitting that RED BUTTON FOR REPUBLICAN! Time to stop the ‘silly time’! Vote BLUE ticket!
Mail in ballots is the way.
But most voted with no problems!!
GovKemp SHAME ON YOU!
This is why the Republicans did not want mail-in-ballots. VoterSuppression
they were the first to reopen their economy. kudos to them for doing it safely.
They are coming for the democracy. The president tweets some batshit krazy conspiracy theory, and while everyone’s offended by that, the racist Republican governor is suppressing the vote. Focus people.
VoterSuppression. This needs to be reported on the Republicans are trying to silence our right to vote. cnn msnbc abc cbs
'Some voters' Please clarify the exact number. Its larger than this makes it out to be. Dont down play this.
votersupression
Apparently critical thinking skills are lacking at the AP or they just count on their readers not having any. As people social distance by 6 feet, the lines will be longer for the same amount of people.
7 day bear market. In record books will go down as panic attack. It's really a continuation of the bull market and will be documented as such. Thank you trump
Imagine that
Vote by mail/hand filled out paper ballots NOW!
They should hire protesters , they don’t have rules ......
Meanwhile thousands of guilt riddled idiots are alliwed to attend the funeral of saint george the junkie.
