It is hard to tell how prevalent problems were today in terms of malfunctioning election equipment in GA. Gonna start a short thread of some posts. It’s unclear if they’re talking about voting machines or checkin computers (which encode the voting machine access cards). #gapol 1/ https://twitter.com/johntwinn/status/1315613815078375425
3/ Pretty sure this is about the checkin computers (Knowink poll pads). https://twitter.com/n_sturdivanttv/status/1315641517374148610
4/ The reference to the internet implies they are talking about the checkin computers (which encode the voting machine access cards). . https://twitter.com/gpbmacon/status/1315662494917185536
5/ Article about problems with the checkin computers aka poll pads aks pollpads aka electronic poll books at the arena. https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-nba-georgia-elections-atlanta-f7343836272098fec2ed67a8ef780003
6/ not enough machines https://twitter.com/nabilahforga07/status/1315715316836691968
9/ Even when they don’t break down, touchscreen voting machines take voters longer to use than #HandMarkedPaperBallots.
10/ More about touchscreens and long lines. @GaSecofState insisted on touchscreens for most voters rather than #HandMarkedPaperBallots. Many of us warned repeatedly about lines. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1315824802695798784.html
12/ Long lines: https://twitter.com/johntalsr/status/1315774645061246976
13/ I’m seeing some references to machines being down. But mostly the posts are about the monster lines. Again, Georgia insisted on touchscreens knowing that #HandMarkedPaperBallots tend to shorten lines. https://twitter.com/melaniecrissey/status/1315747583747391494
15/ Twelve hour line in Marietta?! https://twitter.com/gafollowers/status/1315830276975661057
18/ Wonder what @BrianKempGA is so afraid of. https://twitter.com/ribunchreports/status/1313817996834623489
