CNN

It the reponsibility of the fourth estate to investigate and report why it taken that long hours for americans to exercise their right to vote. it seem like devisive way to supress democrate and paticularlly minority votes. please cnn look in this and report to us.

The election problems will ALL be in heavily Democratic areas, especially if the areas are under GOP-control. Make book on it!!!

Any state, that fails to do everything, and I stress everything it can to ensure all Americans that feels motivated to cast his/her vote in this historic election should feel the full weight of the law. CNN we in america need to know why would they close the polls @ 4:30p.m.?

America, wake up!!!
We can not just sit back and watch this, and not respond.. History tells us all, the right to vote has been paid for. We must not stand on the sidelines, and watch the south fall back to the "Jim Crow" south of old, filled with hatetred and bigitry. Everyone knows the lines with these unexceptable long waits are only in the Afro-American communites. We all know what this its all about..... "The Disenfranchisement of the Afro-American vote" and everyone must join together and stop this. Not in 2008!!!!! CNN do your part........

I waited over 7 hours in Gwinnett County, we really want to turn georgia blue.

That crazy that the wait time is 10 hrs

If you have to wait that long to exercise your to vote it shows the devisive nature of the powers that be to supress votes to entrench themselves in power

Me being a lame at this have heard about the record turnout of voters for months now. i see no reason why preparation wasnt made for this inhumane situation. i guess africa and other third world countries are doing a better job than us the super power when it comes to time spent to vote. shameful. or becoz georgia is red state and the election doesnt seem to be going there way so ita tactic to discourage democratic voters. god is not a sleeping god. obama will still win this election

Harsh. Move to northern Idaho – it took me like 5 mins to vote for Obama.

We've now made the case that voting should...must be accomplish over several days, possibly weeks in large metropolitins. Having to wait in line for 3+ hours is criminal. Get it together Georgia.

IF IT MAKES ANYONE FEELS BETTER, I WAITED ABOUT 4 HRS YESTERDAY WITH MY BABY IN MY HANDS. EVERY ONE FELT SORRY FOR ME, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Hang in there Georgia! Don't let the Repugs suppress your votes.

voter SUPPRESSION!!!!!!

Why is this happening in mostly Republican ran states?

I can't believe Karen Handel and Sonny Perdue won't extend the early voting hours. Can't wait to vote them out of office. If I get a chance, that is...

I don't believe this ... this must be one of Republican dirty tricks ... that Newt Gingrich theif, who slept with his teacher and preached family value to everyone else, is still out there spreading racism

Wait at polls in Georgia USA?...
Ruling elite there donot want voters to turn up and vote...
USA is worse than Mangolia during elections...
50 states with electroral rules.....

Anything worth having is worth waiting for.........

No wait should be TOO long........

The wait will be worth it come January 20, 2009 when Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America!!!!!

just sayin'

I nor anyone else can understand why people are complaining. The only ones compaining are democrats. The line is what it is so if you want to vote than you must wait. You have nothing else to do anyway so bring your cell phone and wait. I waited several hours myself. So what. We want everyone to vote so except the fact of the wait.

Is this an accident?

Karen Handel is a wanna be Katherine Harris. Allowing longer voting hours lets everyone vote which is the point. How does she know who people in line are going to vote for when she cites "political whims"??

Whatever you do..........GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!! Do not let the wait time stop you. This is a very important election.

Wait time in Georgia has been horrible this week. Early voting began late September...and the lines have gotten longer each week. Hopefully this might mean better results on Tuesday. I voted Monday took 3 hours....didn't mind the wait and seems everyone feels the same. Despite the long wait times, I have not heard anyone complain about it!!!!!

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Wait in line as long as it takes! Your waiting is not in VAIN because we cannot take 4 more years of Sarah ad McCAIN!

Obama-Biden '08

Voting line or welfare, I mean "spreading the wealth line"?

THESE PEOPLE ARE MY HEROS!!!! GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR STRIFE TO USE YOUR RIGHT AS AMERICANS.
has anyone other than me notice how they get less attention that Joe the plumber???? By the way I heard that Joh McCain said he will take the jerk o washington ( Huh... he is really senile"

This is ridiculous! As said in the article, it's our most sacred right. I thought they were using computers in the US? Having people wait for hours sounds like a way of intimidating voters and try to reduce voter turnout. Instead of spending milions on warfare, we could start on giving people the ability to voice their concerns and determine this country's future!

These are the possibilities if Obama is elected: Obama will appoint William Ayers as Secretary of Education; Rev. Wright will give the invocation at the ignaguration; he'll stack his cabinet with Chicago politicians to whom he owes favors. The person who will sell you the world, will sell you out as soon as they get what they want. That's Obama.

This a disgrace. Why does it take that long to vote? And why can't these places get Good People to work the Polls? That do not create bottle-necks. Its not that hard.

As for those early voters you can visually see who they mostly are. Do these people have no jobs that they can stand in lines for hours to vote for someone cause of the color of there skin, and not for the real issues that face our nation. I can just see Obamas' welfare lines already. As they already have formed.Why should I have to work to support these lazy people. I believe it's time for them to get out and pay some taxes.

I pray GA will be blue for Xmas!

Be patient, the vote for Obama/Biden is well worth the wait.

Voted Early – Obama/Biden '08

I am not a Gov Perdue fan but he is right when he says the polls have been open since Sept 22nd. It only took me 30min about 3-4 weeks ago. As soon as I found out the polls were open I went and took my sons to educate them on the process. And many other parents had their children there doing the same.

Hang in there folks. Many people knew who they were going to vote for. Many folks have the day off in the middle of the week especially MON and FRI.

WOW! Bush is THAT UNPOPULAR!

Go Georgians!

C'mon Georgia, step it up. Get some more poll workers out there.

If the Governor of Florida can issue a proclamation and extend
voting hours, then Georgia' and Republican Sec. of State Karen Handel should be able to take a similar step! However, Handel is clearly interested in PREVENTING people (DEMOCRATS) from voting and this is one more example of that behavior. I imagine that should Handel choose to run for any future policital office in Georgia, she will LOSE hands down. She's a poor example of a public servant and a repeat of other infamous Secretary of States, i.e., Florida's Katherine Harris (2000 presidential election) and Ohio's Kenneth Blackwell (2008 presidential election).

Hang in there parents, and vote for the future of your kids, by staying and voting for Obama/Biden!

The disenfranchisement begins..........

This is just another example of the excitement surrounding this election. It's the chance to shape our future!

Obama/Biden '08/12

This is NOT democracy....don't kid yourself.
