1:27Now PlayingThe Senate runoffs in Georgia are “running smoothly,” with no reports of long lines, while issues cropped up briefly in Columbia County due to problems in programming equipment that were later resolved, the secretary of state’s office said.
Average wait times were 1 minute across the state as of 12:45 p.m. local time, and no polling locations reported wait times longer than 30 minutes, the office said in a news release. Only one site showed longer than 20 minutes, it said.
In Columbia County, just outside of Augusta, some keys that start paper-ballot scanners and cards for voting machines were programmed incorrectly, but voting continued on emergency ballots and the issues were resolved by 10 a.m., the office said.
Trump tweeted there were reports “that Dominion Machines are not working in certain Republican Strongholds for over an hour.”
But Gabriel Sterling, the state’s voting system implementation manager, tweeted back that the issue was resolved and “the votes of everyone will be protected and counted. Sorry you received old intel Mr. President.”
