ATLANTA (AP) Hundreds of voters in southwest Atlanta were
waiting in line until nearly 10:30 p.m. Thursday because of
computer problems at an advanced voting location.

Matt Carrothers, spokesman for the Georgia Secretary of State's
office, said some of the computers at the Adamsville recreation
center had trouble connecting to the state's voting system
throughout the evening. He said the problem was isolated to the
center and most polling locations across the state were running
smoothly on Thursday.

Lisa Borders, president of the Atlanta City Council, estimated
there were about 600 people in line at 9 p.m. The center closed at
7 p.m. but allowed voters already in line to cast ballots.

Georgia voters began voting Sept. 22, and expanded the polling
process to more sites Monday. So far, some 1.5 million people have
cast their ballots already , more than 26 percent of the
electorate.
