Candidate Pushed to Correct Sandy Springs Precinct Info on Secy of State Site
Barbara Malone learned that voters were given the wrong precinct location for SS31. The candidate told Patch that she helped to get the problem fixed.
Barbara Malone said she helped to correct precinct information on the Georgia Secretary of State website, but the City Council District 3 candidate remains concerned that some voters may show up at the wrong polling place on Election Day.
Malone explained to Patch that she was informed by voters, that when accessing the website, they were given the wrong address for precinct SS31. Instead of Sandy Springs Christian Church at 301 Johnson Ferry Road as the identifying precinct, the website incorrectly showed St. James Angelican Church, on Mitchell Road as the precinct, according to Malone.
The candidate said that she worked with Ralph Jones with Fulton County Registration and Elections to fix the problem. “As of 5 p.m. Friday the website shows the correct information,” Malone said. “I worked really hard to get it fixed.”
