I voted in Dekalb County GA, one of the Atlanta counties.
I showed my ID and the girl said “you already voted absentee”.
The conversation was infuriating.
Her: “you already voted absentee. You requested a ballot right?”
Me: “I neither requested nor received a ballot”
Her: “did you bring the ballot with you?”
Me: “I neither requested nor received a ballot and you just said I voted. Does that mean someone returned an absentee ballot in my name?”
Her: “yes, but did you bring the ballot with you.”
Me: “I never requested or received a ballot.”
Her: “ok but did you bring it with you?”
This repeated for 3-5 minutes before another worker finally got involved.
They finally made me sign a document and said that they marked my absentee as not to be counted. Would love to know how that happens... but whatever.
It makes me wonder - I typically don’t vote in midterms because my district is deep blue. Is someone gathering absentee ballots in the name of people who don’t normally vote in midterms?
You can count on it.
Interesting. I’m in DeKalb too, howdy neighbor. The Abrams campaign workers knew the names of the two of us (who live in the house) when they knocked on our door. Made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
You should have called the cops and asked them to forcibly arrest this piece of garbage for the felony offense of trying to prevent you from voting.
