The Main Problem in Georgia:

Janine Eveler, chief of Cobb elections said the turnout today is beyond what she and her staff expected.

“We thought we would still have adequate voting units, but the turnout is much higher than any midterm we have ever conducted and lines have formed at most polls,” she said at 1:25 p.m.

Eveler said many voters are complaining about a lack of voting machines. She blamed that on the recent Georgia Supreme Court ruling that left many of their machines sequestered. Eveler said more than 600 voting machines have been taken out of the pool of available machines.

She said the number of ballot measures is also making it “difficult for voters to quickly get through.”
