So I rushed out, arrived at 10:30am, and waited an hour and a half — not terrible given the lengthy waits at some other locations, but certainly longer than I was hoping for. If the line is still snaking around to the very front of the building, you’re in for at least an hour and a half wait.

Lutheran Church of the Messiah
Holy Trinity Episcopal
Winnona Park ES
Oakhurst Baptist
Decatur Baptist
Renfroe MS
Decatur First Christian

So using that number already 24% of the county’s population has voted…and we still have a few more days of early voting.

Thanks for the data Melissa!

IIRC it was about 1,700 on Monday and about 2,200 on Tuesday at Ponce, about 28,000 county-wide for the two days, plus about 75,000 in the absentee and advance voting from September on, for a total of about 103,000. I’d be interested to know how many registered voters there are in DeKalb by way of comparison.
