    Long lines in the first two hours of early voting are not actually indicative of a problem or too few polling locations. Do not cover them as if they are.

        They are indicative of enthusiasm. These same polling locations will have no lines later in the day or tomorrow. Celebrate enthusiasm, but most voters will not wait in any line at all.

        God I love all of the replies to my tweet from people who don't look at actual turnout data! It's so helpful for me!

        I'm I being condescending right now? Yeah. It's hard not to be when you've spent four years traveling around the country covering voting and looking at all the data every single day but you, man on the internet, know the cause of the lines in Georgia.

        The more we over-blow the cause of lines and the more we focus on one place unfairly, the less coverage that other places - who are actually not doing nearly as well - get. But yes, let's continue laser focusing on Georgia.

        If the lines continue on day 2, day 3, then we can say "yes, there is a problem here." But like opening day of a movie, the first days lines are not an indicator of long term traffic.

        But when the wait is over 8 hours?

        When the first day is a holiday and people are more excited to vote than they have been in years, yes! These same polling locations will be line free tomorrow

        The reports I’ve seen include people who’ve been in line for four or more hours. That’s a problem, isn’t it? I mean, it’s not even Election Day yet, what if these folks all showed up then?

        But they didn’t! They showed up on the first day they could vote. The first day of early voting is the day voters AND administrators are working out kinks. It’s just what happens.

        I actually wish people wouldn't all show up first day like this. It gives the wrong impression and might discourage other voters.

        Nobody is allowed to be complacent in this election. I have the impression that Dems are aware of what's at stake. And so are trumpers.
