Shirley says: Watch your back, voters
November 4, 2008 at 6:02 pm by Scott Henry in NewsJust got a message from the mayor’s office:
We have received some calls that voters have been turned away from a polling place because their names were not found in the system. Anyone who is registered and has problems should ask to speak with a legal counsel or county official before accepting a provisional ballot. I strongly encourage everyone to participate in the democratic process today by exercising their sacred right to vote.
Yes, polls close in 60 minutes, but the number to the Fulton County election command center is 404-612-8300. Prepare to wait a few minutes, but live people are standing by to answer questions. A Fulton spokeswoman tells me that only a few problems have been reported today, and most of those came from people showing up at the wrong polling place.
