Poll managers also report no major equipment problems.
The Fulton County Board of Health off North Point Parkway also had a DJ.
The time it’s taking for people to do their civic deed is five minutes or less.
It’s the same as what Channel 2’s Bryan Mims found at the Alpharetta library earlier. Turnout has been steady and stress-free.
At Roswell High School late the morning of Election Day, there was no line spilling out the door, just a smattering of voters inside.
“Quick, easy, in and out, no line,” said Casey Schoenberner.
Everyone else here had a two-and-a-half week window to vote early, when nearly 3 million Georgians cast ballots.

“Sometimes I vote early, but I’ve always been lucky with no lines here,” Schoenberner said.
Mims headed into Milton to the library to find the same quick-and-easy rhythm.
Ranjan Dattagupta sometimes votes early and sometimes votes by mail.
There’s no one particular issue that impelled him to the polls. He’d be here no matter what.
“I’ve always been energized to vote. And that was most important to me,” he said. “And I think that’s something I must exercise to the best of my capabilities.”
By early afternoon at the Alpharetta library, Michael Taylor braced for a long line, given the record-breaking early voting turnout.
He says this year’s issues have spiked interest in this election.
“The economy doing better. ... gas prices, food, everything, got the economy a little crazy right now,” Taylor said.
And by mid-afternoon, at the Fowler Park Recreation Center in Forsyth County, Uthara Yelugala says it took her all of five minutes to vote.
“Oh, it was great. It was very simple, very easy,” Yelugala said. “And I think the staffers were very helpful. So it was very quick and easy. I didn’t expect it to be this fast.”
Fulton County spokesperson Regina Waller said there was a minor issue: Some voters reported getting text messages saying polling places had changed.
She said the county did not send out those messages. They’re fake.
She says she’s also not received any reports of problems with voting equipment.
