Georgia woman waits nearly 5 hours to cast her ballot

1. In 1977 the US launched the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes, as of now, half the on-board science systems are still running. Tell me again why 1970's electronic machines being bombarded with cosmic rays, passed the edge of the solar system, and work better than present-day voting machines? Even if we used a 386DX CPU and a PowerVR video chipset from the 1990s we'd have better technology than most states use for voting hardware. Six Unix software developers could compile an even tighter copy of NetBSD with a bare-bones semi-graphical GUI. Alternately, Blackberry QNX could be buttoned down and used on newer, 64-bit hardware. QNX is non-monolithic, POSIX compliant, and has been in development since 1982. /¶ On the backend/network side, my Eero home router is more secure than most administrative networks at polling locations. My phone gets an alert when a new device joins, and the add-on security app tells me what internal device is compromised, or being scanned for weaknesses. This isn't rocket science, it's the dynamic evolution of technology and fruits from the labor of very talented people. /¶

   Before NASA/JPL launches a probe or satellite, twenty or thirty scientists and engineers sit down to brainstorm and map failure modes. They do that several times in an iterative process, those conditions get cooked into the OS for the unit, and then they go train on a simulator of the device. They hone the OS until all the foreseeable kinks are out. How many of these engineers once retired have been coaxed and contracted to help make better, safer voting machines and networks? I'm gonna guess zero. /¶ American voters deserve better, but the machines and backend systems are so disparate that they will never be completely secure. It's all just a jolly money grab by private corporations. I've said it before and I will keep saying it, "The social contract is null and void." Conserve your resources and leave the US when the time is right.

2. I'm so glad I didn't have to wait in line. I was in and out in less then 10 minutes.

3. I live in Fairfield CT and it took 2 min to vote no lines and at least 15 voting booths. Voter suppression is rampant in the US

4. Voter suppression at its finest

5. Voting should be on a saturday.

6. So sad so Sad😢 When others get to #vote by @usps 📬 2 America's 🗽🇺🇸

7. wat a waste of time. people r jus that dum. nothins gona change

8. No matter who you vote for they're still corrupt politicians.looking out for their own goals and the 1%. God bless fucking america

9. Brian Kemp did this on purpose, he's overseeing his own race. Voter suppression!

10. Racism.

11. Just to mail in voting next time

12. Georgia is corrupt

13. Can you change the End sub. Fak.sub.so boring .

14. Looks like a democratic plantation to me

15. We see the district this happened in. This is flat out just voter suppression.

16. Well the person in front of her and the person behind her didn't wait five hours? Why is this "one woman waits five hours" lol

17. This is why ppl dont vote. It takes way too long.

18. I don't get this. The only reason in creating such adverse wait times is to suppress the vote. In the state of WA, everyone is mailed a ballot with a stamped self-addressed envelope. Convenient and no lines. It seems like other states should follow our state's lead and/or open more polling stations.

19. This is the kind of stuff you get when the person over state elections keeps his job while he runs for another statewide seat.

20. That line looked more like one women.
    But ok, let’s just focus on one. Lmao

21. Lived in Georgia, like a 3rd world country.

22. Don’t let democrats vote they are too ignorant

23. And I have better things to do then stand in line for 5 hours

24. Mine was cancelled because I’m a democrat so sad

25. For a country that consumes 50% of the electricity produced in the world, no power cords exactly on the voting days ? What do you call that ?? VOTER SUPPRESSION / DISSUASION.

26. In Los Angeles, it took me 15 minutes to vote. No lines. If it takes longer, it is because those in power want it to take longer so you won't vote. That is voter suppression. Republicans up to their usual tricks.

27. Corrupt

28. Dedication!

29. I brought a camp,chair just. In case, line moved quickly I came prepared for me or any that needed it

30. wow that’s where i live lol, but luckily that wasn’t my voting location…and i also voted early 🤣

31. I voted weeks ago. If you live in a flaky area like this register for an absentee ballott

32. She should be the poster child for voting 🙂

33. God BLESS President TRUMP and AMERICA!!!!
