Meanwhile, thousands of fans are expected to attend UGA's first home football game on October 3. The university was unable to find a suitable location to host early voting on campus, according to an announcement Wednesday by the non-partisan student-run voter registration group UGAVotes.

"The school's website said that Sanford Stadium, which can fit more than 90,000 people, will be operating at approximately 20% to 25% capacity for football games. And the Athens Banner-Herald reported in August that the school's athletic department assured its boosters that it would dedicate significant resources to measures like more coronavirus testing and improved sanitization procedures heading into the fall season.

Put the voting booths on the football field! Problem solved.

“They” just don’t want to make voting more accessible in any way. I can’t understand it.

Big Ten changes course, aims for October start to footballLess than five weeks after pushing football and other fall sports to spring in the name of player safety during the pandemic, the conference changes course and says it plans to begin its season the weekend of Oct. 24.

Who rushed to a decision when there was plenty of time to wait and evaluate. Absolutely not acceptable reason for the bigten to not fire KevinFWarren. Who do the parents/players sue if there is death or permanent injury from getting Covid?
