West Wing star rips Justice Roberts for chaos on election day in Georgia

On Tuesday, the primary elections in Georgia were marred by serious problems, including hours-long lines at polling places and malfunctioning machines.


Writing on Twitter, former "West Wing" star Bradley Whitford placed a significant portion of the blame squarely on the shoulders of Chief Justice John Roberts — who wrote the 2013 Supreme Court decision decimating enforcement of the Voting Rights Act in states with a history of voter suppression.

As of Tuesday afternoon, a state court has extended voting hours in Muscogee County, home to the city of Columbus, to 9pm, to mitigate the impact of the election irregularities.
