Voters in Georgia’s 6th congressional district have reported few problems Tuesday across the three-county region, although flare-ups have occurred.

The most concerning is in Fulton County, where election officials are asking a judge to allow to precincts to remain open past 7 p.m.

Any polling problem on an election day is serious, but Tuesday’s 6th District race has garnered national attention as one of the first tests of President Donald Trump’s coattails, or lack thereof.

2. Not what I just saw on cbs news...

A lot of people are being re-routed to other polling places even though the voters say they know they are in the right place.

One woman said she had voted at her Alpharetta polling place in November, but now her address has mysteriously been switched back to south Atlanta!

A couple of places opened late and will remain open later.

4. I caught the tail end of a similar report on ABC, I think.

Their objective is to force the runoff to make it easier to compete, tear down Ossoff, and cheat, of course.
