The NAACP is accusing
election officials in Georgia of bungling votes in the gubernatorial race,
saying in a complaint Tuesday that voting machines mistakenly showed votes
intended for Democrat Stacey Abrams as votes for Republican Brain Kemp.
Voters were able to correct their ballots after repeated attempts, according to USA Today.
Abrams, who could become the first black, woman governor in the United States, has repeatedly accused Kemp — Georgia's current secretary of state — of voter suppression through purging rolls and holding up registrations. But the new NAACP complaints, first reported by USA Today and filed with the Secretary of State Office on Tuesday, purport to show how even successful, registered voters are facing trouble when they go to the polls for early voting.
