Here are the top three stories today in and around Sandy Springs:

1. Fulton County poll workers will be able to report any polling location threats through a new incident reporting tool. The text-based tool's intended goal is to provide the Fulton County election director with "real-time intelligence" to ensure the security of the state's election. The state-wide alert system was activated on Monday. (NBC News)
2. The system used to check-in voters, called eNet, in Fulton County went down on Monday. The system outage caused a backlog of voters at various polling locations which extended the wait. The state has experienced similar outages in the past. (The Guardian)
3. The Fulton County Fresh Mobile Market is hitting the streets today. The market will be packed with fresh fruits and vegetables to distribute to county residents. The market will be traveling through county communities through Nov. 17. Click to learn more about the market and how to participate. (Fulton County)
