Hi Breezers, we try not to send out too many emails, but each time we do, we get "unsubscribe" notices. We get it! Our email boxes get full too. We just hate for people not to know what's going on in the region, and it's super hard to add you back--it's a whole process and can only be done once!

The line was one hour + long at my Fulton County polling location today. Same small room and fewer voting machines than I've seen in elections past.
Charlie Stauffer@goodwonky.bsky.social · 3mo agoPoll Watching today - seeing the astounding number of people at the wrong precincts (most of the people who come in!), and a couple of fixable technical issues. At every hurdle, some potential voters give up. Voter suppression is a volatile phrase, but this confusion (1/2)
This will be fantastic 😍
