Long lines in the first two hours of early voting are not actually indicative of a problem or too few polling locations. Do not cover them as if they are.

They are indicative of enthusiasm. These same polling locations will have no lines later in the day or tomorrow. Celebrate enthusiasm, but most voters will not wait in any line at all.

God I love all of the replies to my tweet from people who don't look at actual turnout data! It's so helpful for me!

I'm I being condescending right now? Yeah. It's hard not to be when you've spent four years traveling around the country covering voting and looking at all the data every single day but you, man on the internet, know the cause of the lines in Georgia.

The more we over-blow the cause of lines and the more we focus on one place unfairly, the less coverage that other places - who are actually not doing nearly as well - get. But yes, let's continue laser focusing on Georgia.

If the lines continue on day 2, day 3, then we can say "yes, there is a problem here." But like opening day of a movie, the first days lines are not an indicator of long term traffic.
