It's Wednesday June 10th. I'm Gideon Ressik.

And I'm Rocco Willis filling in for Keela Hughes.

And this is what a day we're returning in our grandfathers on suspicion of being Antifa.

Well, not my grandfathers, they're not around anymore.

That's...I'm sorry. That's...

On today's show, we're going to talk to writer and activist Raquel Willis about what this moment means for the black queer and trans community, then some headlines.

But first, the latest.

We've been standing, these people have been standing in line.

What is going on in Georgia? I mean, we know what's going on in the United States. This is ridiculous.

That was Anita Hurd, an 80-year-old woman standing in line at a voting site in Georgia yesterday morning, waiting to exercise her right to vote.

So Gideon, as she said, what is going on in my home state?

A lot. Yesterday, obviously, Georgia held primary elections. That is what people were waiting to vote for.

And they were voting on the presidential primary, but also Senate races and other local races.

And the voting issues were plentiful throughout the entire day.

So, seemingly from the start of the day, there were anecdotes, primarily from black voters, beginning to pour in like Anita, waiting hours in some cases, bringing chairs or growing so frustrated that they inevitably gave up on voting.

And this is also taking place in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and on a relatively hot Georgia day.

The primary had already had to be moved twice because of the pandemic before Tuesday.

And by evening, several counties had to extend their hours to allow for people to vote.

And Georgia Secretary of State said he would open an investigation into what happened.

Of course. So, what do we know about what caused these voting issues?

So, there were kind of a lot of things all on top of each other.

But according to local reporting there, the pandemic was certainly part of it.
