Election watchdog: Some voters denied provisional ballots at several polling stations in Atlanta
An election watchdog said Tuesday some voters were denied provisional ballots at several polling stations in Atlanta.
Georgia Election Protection coalition spokesman Harold Franklin said poll mangers refused to provide provisional ballots to voters. He said the group received reports that voters were given no reason for being refused.
Franklin claimed voters who are eligible or entitled to a provisional ballot were denied. He did not know the number of voters who were refused, but said the bulk occurred in Fulton County.
Franklin said he spoke with Fulton County election officials, who he said told polling managers to provide voters with ballots. The Fulton County elections office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Election Protection is organized by the Lawyers Committee for Civils Rights Under Law.
