Fulton County to open 2 more early voting locations amid backlash from community

Fulton County is making some changes ahead of the upcoming election in November, following criticisms about voting precincts and election monitoring.

But Channel 2 investigative reporter Sophia Choi learned that those changes come with a price tag.

Pastor Brian Tillman heads the Central United Methodist Church in southwest Atlanta — a voting location in years past.

“We have faced a history of disenfranchisement when it comes to voting,” Tillman said.

This year, he noticed three early voting precincts in Buckhead, but none in historic Vine City and the Atlanta University Center area.

“Same general size of area. Three locations and this area – zero,” Tillman said.

A huge inconvenience for many people in the area who rely on mass transit to get to voting locations.
