Computer Issues Are Causing Voting Problems In Georgia House Special Election

Election officials are hoping to keep two polling places open later than the 7 PM closing time after computer errors, and late poll workers caused some voting problems in Georgia’s US House special election.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:

After experiencing some issues on Tuesday, Fulton County officials are hoping to keep two polling precincts open later.

Richard Barron, the director of elections and registration for Fulton County, said they are trying to extend voting hours for Centennial High School in Roswell and the Johns Creek Environmental Campus.

The problem is, the judge that has to OK voting extension, Shawn Ellen LaGrua, is hearing a criminal case today.

If local officials can get the judge to squeeze them in, they want to keep the Centennial High School polling place open until 7:35 PM, and the Johns Creek polling place open until 7:55 PM ET.

For people all around the country who are interested in this special election, the potentially extended hours for the two polling places will mean a delay in getting election results. If polls are correct, and that is a big if, after the 2016 presidential election, Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff should finish first in the voting tonight, but fall short of the 50% threshold that he will need to achieve to avoid a runoff in June.

Preventing people from voting before they go to work is never a good thing, but it is impossible to know whether the problems at these two locations help or harm one candidate more than any other, but after the events of Election Day 2016, Democrats don’t need any additional hurdles to overcome.
