People wait in a line to vote in the Georgia's primary election at Park Tavern on Tuesday, June 9, in Atlanta. Long lines snaked around polling places Tuesday, and some voters faced hourlong waits as Georgia held its twice-delayed primary election amid a shortage of poll workers and social-distancing precautions caused by the coronavirus. Widespread problems included trouble with Georgia’s new touchscreen voting system in races for president, U.S. Senate and dozens of other contests. State Rep. William Boddie said he visited two polling locations that had long lines in his district. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said voters in line at one of Atlanta’s largest precincts reported all the machines were down.
