WOMEN: 100 YEARS OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE

WOMEN: 100 YEARS OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE

What work needs to be done now?  Is there a sense of urgency of the work that has to be done?   Much has been accomplished, but much more needs to be done!  As a long standing member of the League of Women Voters-Atlanta Fulton Unit. it is my view that there is a CLASS  DIVIDE among WOMEN  activist along racial and economic lines.    Listen to this panel  which  celebrates 100 years of the Amendment to the U.S. Constitution allowing Women the Right to Vote.   We need your  views and elicit your comment~~~

Primary Elections: Chaos& Quiet Storm in in Fulton County

Primary Elections: Chaos & Quiet Storm in Fulton County

June 12, 2020
Drewnell Thomas
What is this chaos, and why was there a quiet storm   on election day in Fulton County and in other places throughout the State of? Georgia?  "(THEY SAY)" Georgia and Fulton County election officials say that the COVID-19 coronavirus shut down, and related restrictions new voting machines, etc., are among the reasons for much of the June 9, 2020 election day chaos and confusion.  Others say that underlying SYSTEMIC RACISM is a prevailing factor which exacerbated election day chaos in majority Black and Brown voting precinct.   What actions should our Election Officials take to quell the silent storm and prevent chaos at the polls. 

Although I had a positive experience with the actual voting process (after determining the correct location of my voting precinct), I have the following:
Personal Questions for My Understanding
  1. Why did I receive a notification in the mail on June 10, 2020 (the day after the June 9, 2020) election day, that my voting Precinct location had changed?
  2. What actions were taken to publicize the March 2020 voting process and election results?
  3. How are voting machines and elections staff s appropriated to each precinct? 
  4. How is the elections process monitored?
  5. WHAT'S NEXT?
 The results of the   June 9, 2020 election are contained in following link to the Fulton County web site:
