Washington Post: In Georgia, primary day snarled by long lines, problems with voting machines — a potential preview of November

Problems were concentrated in Atlanta and surrounding counties, where voters described standing in line for hours, with election officials processing paper ballots by hand painfully slowly because they could not get new touch-screen machines to work or they had not been delivered in time. …

In and around Atlanta, multiple observers reported that polling places struggling to operate machines ran out of provisional and emergency ballots within the first hour of voting. Others noted that the problems also extended into surrounding counties, as well as the Savannah area and isolated locations elsewhere in the state.

“It’s the wild, wild West,” said Aunna Dennis, executive director of Common Cause Georgia. “I don’t know what to call Georgia right now.”
