          "Broken" machines early in the day unequally affect people trying to vote before going to work. Hourly workers and blue-collar workers have a harder time getting time off work! #VoteSuppression

          Wrongful imprisonment is confining a person in a bounded area such that the only escape is dangerous or humiliating. We should construe voting lines that way.

          Ugh. There is always going to be technical snafus and broken machines, but with the active voter suppression tactics in GA courtesy of Kemp, it’s hard not to go all paranoid. Stay strong, Georgia!

          "There is always going to be technical snafus and broken machines," WHY? I have never heard of this in any other western country. They have had months to test and organise.
