DEL.ICIO.US‘Slow but steady’ turnout at Medlock Elementary
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
By late morning, 123 Democratic ballots and 117 Republican ballots had been cast at Medlock Elementary School, the polling place for District 5 in DeKalb County.
Poll manager Patricia Bowens described turn out as “slow but steady” and said she was expecting things to pick up around mid afternoon.
Sonny Goff, 55, took a ballot for the Democratic primary. He said his decisions were guided by the candidates’ concerns for the issues of the gay community.
“I’m a gay man and I’m going to vote for candidates that support gay issues,” Goff said.
Goff singled out former state legislator and one-time Department of Human Resources Commissioner Jim Martin, who is running for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor. Goff said Martin “holds true to our values.”
