Georgia election officials expect no major delays due to Hurricane Helene
The Jefferson County election office still isn’t open to the public after Hurricane Helene barreled through southeast Georgia last week.
So on Monday — the last day to register to vote in this swing state — Election Director Susan Gray grabbed a fan and a folding table and set up outside.
“We’ve had probably just a handful of people, but at least I was here. That’s the main thing,” Gray said.
A major hurricane barreling through a swing state just a few weeks before a presidential election is the stuff of nightmares. But aside from having to accept a few applications in the sweltering Georgia sun, the state seems to have avoided major delays and disruptions.
