Voter info for 16 crucial Georgia counties with polls open today–the last day of early voting in Georgia Senate runoffs

Above: Map of Georgia highlighting 16 counties with open polls today was pulled from Interactive turnout map by Georgia Public Broadcasting reporter Stephen Fowler.

No Problem: Tucker Rec Center CAN be used for Early Voting in #GA06

Update on Early Voting in DeKalb Tucker Rec Center IS Available as #GA06 Early Voting Site   Backround: DeKalb County is considering adding Early Voting sites for the Sixth District runoff.

No guarantees. There was a signal from the board that a…
