During the early voting period, more than 30,458 Fulton County voters cast their ballots, according to a joint statement by Fulton County Board of Registration & Elections Chair Mary Carole Cooney and Director of Registration & Elections Richard L. Barron.

In an unprecedented election season, the Fulton County Election Commission added two polling locations, one in Roswell and another in College Park.

Since early voting began in May, Fulton County has experienced socially distanced lines that resulted in waits of up to four hours, a backlog of absentee ballot applications.

The Fulton County Election Commission has acknowledged the number of voters who applied for absentee ballots but never received them.

Meanwhile, U.S. Senate candidate Pastor Raphael Warnock of Ebenezer Baptist Church, said Friday that America suffers from COVID-1619, an alliteration to the first slaves arriving at Jamestown at 1619 and the country’s inability to effectively discuss race.
