Ambulance arrives for Georgia voters 'passing out' in long lines: Report

 

Controversy allegedly erupted as the chance to cast ballots on Georgia’s first day of in-person early voting Monday when thousands of people waited for hours to make their voices heard.

 

Liberal activist Shaun King tweeted an image of the scene: “It’s OUTRAGEOUS. People are passing out. The ambulance just came. People are hungry and thirsty. People are leaving for work. This is voter suppression.”

Dead man receives absentee ballot

Created: October 16, 2020 07:39 PM

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — A man who died 10 years ago is still listed as an active voter in Monroe County- and received an absentee ballot from the Board of Elections. 

 

"My feeling was how could this happen," says Karen Noll. "How could this happen actually, an absentee ballot for somebody that's been dead for 10 years?"

 

That ballot had arrived at Karen and Jim Noll's home this past week. It was addressed to Karen's father Donald J. Gunther. Gunther had run Gunther's Food market on Saint Paul Boulevard before moving to Florida 25 years ago before dying in 2010. And yet, there was a ballot. 

 

"It really is concerning to see for someone who has been dead for 10 years and never lived here," says Jim Noll. "How did this ballot turn up?"

Because somebody else named Donald J. Gunther applied for an absentee ballot and it was sent to the wrong address.  :doh:   Unfortunately, the live Donald J. Gunther won't get his ballot unless the BOE is notified and sends him a new one.  Of course, the ballot could have come from out of state.

So is the BOE supposed to start providing meals and drinks now to those in line?

Isn't the point of extended voting to allow people to come back & vote on a different day if the lines are too long?

 

Or was the 1st day voting was open going to be the only day all of these rocket scientists were going to be available to vote?

 

That people are stupid is not disenfranchising, though maybe it should be. ;)
