That said, not everyone was happy.
West Cobb lawmakers and residents were riled Monday, saying the countyâs last-minute decision to move an early voting center from the Ward Recreation Center, in the heart of west Cobb, to Powder Springsâ Ron Anderson Recreation Center amounted to disenfranchisement.
The move was announced last Thursday along with the opening, in the third and final week of the early voting period, of two additional centers â one in Smyrna, the other in the countyâs northeastern corner. The county had faced withering criticism from advocacy groups for its decision to offer only five early voting locations, instead of the 11 it had offered ahead of the general election.
