More obstruction in Georgia...............

I live in rural North Georgia. We still have Confederate and TeaBagger flags and tags on cars. A few years ago I gave the maximum donation to Michelle Nunn's (Sams daughter) campaign for Senate. I gave the same to Jason Carter for Governor (Jimmy's grandson). The polls showed a tie until the election day. Both lost by about 5 points.

Watching the Atlanta TV reports the next day, I noticed the lines were very long waiting to vote. This was in the cities. Here in Trump country there was a five minute wait.

In any election for Federal offices there needs to be a law to fix this suppression!
