GA Early Voters Face Long Lines; CA Officials Warn GOP over Illegal Drop Sites

HeadlineOct 13, 2020

In Georgia, early voting opened Monday with some voters waiting as long as 10 hours in line. Technical problems with voting machines were reported at the state’s largest polling site in Atlanta. Around 10 million voters have already cast ballots across the U.S., shattering previous early voting records. At this time in 2016, only about 1.4 million votes had been cast.

In California, the secretary of state and attorney general sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding Republican officials stop encouraging voters to use unofficial ballot drop boxes that state officials say are illegal.
