KEILAR: Up to eight hours of standing and waiting, that is what some Georgia voters are enduring in order to cast their ballots early. And they are far from alone. There are thousands of folks across the nation encountering these long lines as voters are coming out in droves. They are setting records, doubling, even tripling in some states the early voting numbers seen in 2016. CNN's Amara Walker is in Georgia watching all of this for us. I mean, eight hours to vote, Amara, that is a considerably long line.</s>AMARA WALKER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, it's wild, isn't it? So that eight-hour wait time was up in Gwinnett County about a half hour north of here in Fulton County, an early voting site, and that was happening on Monday. On Tuesday, the wait times are down to six hours. And now, from what I saw, the line and the wait time there in Gwinnett County is two hours. Here at Fulton County at this particular polling site this morning, people are lining up starting at 6:00 in the morning. The wait time was about three hours. Now, it's down to about 45 minutes. Part of the reason why we've been seeing such long lines around the state, Brianna, is that many polling site are still having problems related to the electronic poll pads. That's basically the electronic check-in system, where it verifies the voter's registration and then generates an I.D. card for the voter to go ahead and then vote on the touch screen machines. The Georgia the secretary of state today said in a news conference, yes, this is a statewide issue that we're seeing, that we're seeing these slowdowns in the system because there's just not enough bandwidth. All of these polling sites are logging onto the digital record data system for the state at the same time. In fact, in Gwinnett County, just north of here, a spokesperson there told me that, yesterday, this system crashed for about a half hour.
