Politics / Shenanigans Suburban Republicans flocking to polls, liberal intowners locked out
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 1:01 PM
Early indications show that more people than expected were turning out to vote in Fayette and Henry counties, the AJC’s Jeffry Scott writes.It’s still too early to tell whether the numbers will rise above the 21 percent of registered voters who cast ballots in the last primary race for governor in 2006.
A voter at the Virginia-Highland precinct across from Inman Middle School tells the AJC that the air conditioning wasn’t working at 9 a.m.The voter also said the polling place did not open for voting until 8:45 a.m.
Another voter reported “plenty of confusion” at a precinct on North Druid Hills Road.
The voter asked for a Democratic ballot but was given a card that activated the Republican primary ballot on the electronic voting machine.
The voter spoke to a poll worker who helped eject the ballot activation card.
But the card wouldn’t clear, even after the help of additional poll workers.
MASSIVE CONSPIRACY AIMED AT WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW.
UPDATE, 4:15 p.m. The secretary of state's office says no one was denied the right to vote. SUCH WICKED LIES. (Kidding, folks. Just some election day craziness.)

You might want to read the updates. It turns out that no one was turned away at the Inman poll. They couldn't get in but set up a provisional station outside.
Folks are just trying to create something that isn't there.

Looks like the Republicans are trying to steal more elections. How typical. It's amazing that they get away with this shit.
