Voters in Atlanta would have one less hour to cast their ballots under a bill that cleared a subcommittee Thursday.
The bill was filed by Republican Sen. Matt Brass after Democratic Sen. Jen Jordan won a special election in December to represent a district that covers parts of Atlanta and Cobb County. Voting in Cobb County ended at 7 p.m.
Brass said “All the people in the city of Atlanta have a one-hour advantage on the rest of the state, we’re trying to get a little more uniformity.”
What a joke, they want to get uniformity...? No, they want to destroy democracy and make it as hard as possible for people to vote! People have to work all day and they are expected to make it to the voting polls right after work. We should have a national holiday for voting! Everyone in the country should get two days off from work every year so they can go vote, that is how democracy works!!!
