Atlanta mayoral race tightens as more votes are counted

November 7, 2017 Atlanta: Garrett Clum brought his dog, Beau to vote on Tuesday. Voters lined up early at Henry W. Grady High School at 929 Charles Allen Dr NE in Atlanta on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2017 to cast their votes. Only about 20,000 of 250,000 registered voters cast early ballots in Atlanta’s mayoral election, a likely sign of low turnout for Tuesday’s vote to succeed Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed. A late WSB-TV poll, released on Friday, showed Councilwoman Keisha Lance Bottoms leading Councilwoman Mary Norwood for the first time with 25 percent of the vote to Norwood’s 23 percent.  JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM
