Georgia's secretary of state and state House speaker have called for investigations into voting delays in Atlanta and across Georgia on the day of the state's primary
The announcement of the investigations came after a rocky start for the state's primary on Tuesday morning as voters, primarily in the populous Atlanta area, were met with long lines and delays. "The voting situation today in certain precincts in Fulton and DeKalb counties is unacceptable," Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, said.
later confirmed in an email to CNN that ballots were being delivered to voters last Wednesday. Meanwhile, CNN Weather's Brandon Miller says voters in the greater Atlanta metro area are facing some weather conditions that will make standing in long voting lines uncomfortable. Although temperatures will only be in the mid-80s, humidity around 80-90% will make it feel much warmer -- over 90 degrees.
