It won’t surprise you to hear that in Albany and Fort Valley, Georgia, where there are HBCUs, the wait time to vote is ridiculous. No wait at all in white Atlanta suburbs.

Let me just say, as a North Carolinian and neighbor of one of the biggest HBCUs in the country, taking voting precincts away from those locations has only galvanized the vote.

NC has many HBCUs. In many locales the county boards of elections have altered the locations of early voting sites. In some cases further away from universities in general. Young people are fired up. The state and county BOEs are now operating with a GOP majority.
