Voters frustrated they couldn't vote in 6th District special election due to residency requirements

quote:

Edward Rappaport spent most of the day on his phone.

"There's misinformation. I'm not the only one who's misinformed," Rappaport told Channel 2’s Audrey Washington. “This is the neighborhood polling place and the doors of the church are locked."

Rappaport was one of many voters left confused and frankly annoyed, when he found his regular polling place closed for business.

"Perhaps there's confusion among the voters, perhaps there's confusion among the election officials, I'm not sure," Rappaport told Washington.

Our camera rolled as Rappaport called the election information line, then the office of the secretary of state, to figure out what was going on.

Finally he was told he wasn't in the 6th Congressional District.

County commissioners told Washington many voters are confused.

As I posted on FB yesterday:

quote:

So the news reports that people as far as south of Atlanta were calling the Secretary of State's office to complain that their polling place wasn't open for the GA 6th Congressional District special election today. (This district runs across the top end of the northern counties, for non-locals). If you're too dumb to know which District you live in, you've likely got no business heading to the polls in the first place. Sit your arse at home and work out the basics before you use your vote as a bludgeon against the rest of us. And that's my non-partisan indictment for today. Damn.

I saw a "friend" from long ago post on Facebook that she couldn't vote (she is in sandy springs) and how she would probably be on the news complaining. No she was not in this video for sure
