Five US States Holding Political Party Primaries on Tuesday

VOA News

   Voters in five U.S. states went to the polls Tuesday for political
   party primary elections, but the balloting in the southern state of
   Georgia was slow, with voters reporting long lines and officials saying
   there were problems with voting machines not working.

   In the state's largest city, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms urged
   voters to be patient, saying the long lines and voting machine issues
   were widespread.

   "This seems to be happening throughout Atlanta and perhaps throughout
   the county," Lance Bottoms wrote on Twitter. "If you are in line,
   PLEASE do not allow your vote to be suppressed. PLEASE stay in line."
