A friend of mine, who lives in Newton County, has a Newton Drivers license, was denied the ability to vote because of a land ownership dispute and tax issue. He had a house in Dekalb, and still gets mail sent there.
He went to the precinct in Dekalb county, with mail he received in Dekalb at his old address (hasn’t lived in Dekalb county in twenty years and has been voting in Covington).
He showed them his Covington address on his drivers license, showed them mail from his Dekalb address and they allowed him to vote in Dekalb county.
How does that work? This was near the jail near Memorial Drive.
He also said the intimidation factor was incredible, with guys that looked like they were in a parade military group screaming at the lines about the brotherhood and who they should vote for.
He said people were coming up to the drop boxes and putting in multiple ballots at a time.
It’s a shame. He’s a big fella and said he feared for his life.
Two problems. He heard about the mail situation and he was allowed to vote in a county that didn’t match his license and hadn’t voted in in twenty years.
