Voters who were out to vote in Atlanta woke up to a few surprises on Tuesday, June 9, 2020. Many enthusiastic voters were shocked when they showed up to vote at their assigned polls. The only thing they saw were signs redirecting them to another site because their polling location was closed. This caused some problems, especially with some senior citizens who had arranged for special transportation to the polls. Those who could had to make additional arrangements for transportation to the substitute locations. Situations like this probably resulted in lower voter turn-out as some voters could not make the proper arrangements at the last minute. Others just “gave up”.
