A vast majority of those voters had a relatively smooth experience, save for waiting in line at some metro Atlanta polling locations for more than three hours on some early voting days. That experience, however, may actually help officials on Election Day. Fulton County, for example, expects to have fewer voters on Election Day than it did during early voting, likely easing lines on Tuesday and giving officials what they hope is some breathing room as polls close and they work to get overall vote counts into the state.

Russell Lewis, chief investigator with the Secretary of State’s Office, said the office has opened 25 cases in total related to complaints during early voting — on par with the 2012 presidential election, he said. No widespread problems have been reported.
