Jessica King's absentee ballot application never arrived. She tried to vote early at her polling location near her home in Albany, Georgia but left when the crowd made social distancing impossible.
Finally, thanks to an early alarm on Election Day and a nearly hourlong wait, King, 27, was able to vote in the states June primary.
The obstacles she encountered to safely casting a ballot several months into a pandemic were frustratingly familiar to her as a Black voter.
As a person of color, the worry that my vote wont get counted is always there, King, who works at a nonprofit community advocacy group in Albany, said in an interview. Its not because we dont trust the system, its because the experiences we have had. History has taught us that people of color our vote does not get counted when it really matters.
