Georgia elections officials prepare for Tuesday’s presidential primary election

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – A rematch may seem inevitable between current President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, but their people still want votes in Georgia’s primary election on Tuesday.

“They need to see raw numbers, they need to show enthusiasm and support at the voter level. So it still matters,” said Brian Robinson, a political strategist.

According to the website for Georgia’s secretary of state, over 413,000 people voted early for the primary. Cobb County saw nearly 30,000 people come out to the voting booths.

Tate Fall, Cobb County’s elections director, said Tuesday is like a rehearsal for November for her staff and for the voters.

For Tuesday, Fall said voters need to go to their assigned polling places and bring a photo ID.

Fall said polling places are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“Shouldn’t see any wait times unless you’re right at the door at 7 a.m. waiting to be the first in line,” said Fall. “There might be two or three other people with you, but it should be quiet overall,” said Fall.

CBS’s deputy director of elections and data analytics is estimating Trump will officially clinch the Republican nomination with Georgia’s delegates from the primary.
