ATLANTA — Joining other entertainment and sporting venues like State Farm Arena, Live Nation announced on Thursday that several venues the company owns across the country, including Atlanta's Buckhead Theatre, will serve as polling places for the 2020 General Election.

A previous Buckhead polling place located in a seniors' high rise was eliminated due to the coronavirus epidemic, but Live Nation came forward and offered the concert venue as an alternative to Fulton County election officials.

“Fulton County is pleased to partner with Live Nation for Election Day 2020,” said Fulton County director of registrations and elections, Richard Barron in a release on Thursday. “This is the kind of strong corporate citizenship that distinguishes our community, and we know voters will be thrilled to cast their ballots at the Buckhead Theatre on November 3.”

According to a Live Nation release, the company is offering several other venues across the United States to local officials as voting locations.

1. One thing for sure, won't be many poor people voting in that part of Atlanta.

Not many middle-class either. Hope they put some new polling places elsewhere.
