Does she need proof the sun rises in the east? How many polling places in Dem neighborhoods do they need to close? How has she missed the hours long lines in Georgia?
I know the culture of victimhood is strong in the GOP but demonstrate at least a little perspective! :lol:

What will help is when we send all the Republicans to the reeducation camps,” Mr. Weissgerber said with a laugh. “Can you imagine Mitch McConnell? Lindsey Graham?”

Raffensperger's office blames Democrats and county elections officials for opposing his efforts to improve access. "As Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger pushed legislation that would force counties to expand polling locations and directly address these issues," Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs said in an email.
"Unfortunately, every single Democratic Senator and Representative voted against this proposal saying that it would cause 'confusion.' Georgia voters deserve to know who is actually holding back progress and it isn't the Secretary of State's Office."
Hint....County run elections.

And yes, Georgia (from your link)
Republican Brad Raffensperger, who took over as secretary of state in January 2019, has called for more resources and polling places, but he has been unable to push these changes through the GOP-controlled legislature.
But wait - there's more!

You cited Georgia earlier. Who runs the polling places in the large minority counties? Who doesn’t have multiple weeks to vote at their leisure prior to Election Day?
NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT VOTED FOR THE CHANGES!

If you had read the whole article you would realize the bill would have pushed the funding for polling places to the county level. There should be equal funding across the board in a state for polling locations.
Additionally, states choose the # of polling places.
Latsly, there were photos of crowds of people waiting in line long before election day in Georgia.
I may have also missed that memo that showed a decrease in voter turnout this election.
Helpful hint to anyone complaining about voter rolls. The mid terms are in roughly 20 months. That seems to be plenty of time to ensure one is registered on the rolls properly.
Georgia counties control their polling places. take it up with the county election officials.
There was a huge media story of long lines ON THE FIRST DAY OF EARLY VOTING. Those same precincts had ZERO lines in subsequent voting days.
Lastly, there were crowds of people waiting in a long line on Election Day in my precinct. What’s your point.
