A younger John Lewis — a Georgia man who was arrested and was beaten fighting for the right to vote.

Fulton County is a Georgia county with a significant African-American population — roughly a third of the county — that tends to be a stronghold for Democrats (it is based around Atlanta).

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that there may indeed be wide-spread voter suppression going on there:

ai???There are lots of reports of folks who registered on time but are not in the system, reports of places that ran out of provisional ballots, reports of not having let people cast provisional ballots,ai??? said [a representative of the Secretary of State]. ai???Keep in mind, the provisional ballot is the ultimate safety net. Itai??i??s not a matter of ai???ifai??i?? you can fill it out.ai??? […] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution also received reports from residents that machines at county polling places were not working.

One woman apparently left in tears after being unable to vote, but did return later in the day to cast her ballot.

We don’t know if this foul play yet or not. But Georgia has a history of voter suppression against African Americans.
