Official: Georgia House voting going smoothly

Via AP:

An election official says voting has been moving smoothly at polling sites in Georgia's closely-watched House election.

Richard Barron, director of Fulton County's registration and elections, says the state's most populous county is on pace to have around 36,000 people come through when polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday. He says about 16,500 people had already voted by 12:30 p.m.

Barron says there have been a couple of voting issues, but it's nothing that would derail having final results in by 11 p.m. He says one of the most common complaints has been from poll workers canceling people's absentee-by-mail ballots at polls.

In the April 18 general election, state officials reported polling machines used to check in voters at one precinct in Johns Creek weren't working properly, but the problem was resolved.
