Nylah McDowell and Iona Atwaters, both 19, waved and smiled Tuesday afternoon at passing motorists on Lavista Road in North DeKalb County.
Sometimes the Druid Hills High School grads got a friendly honk in response to the sign McDowell held urging voters to cast their ballot for Larry Johnson, one of three candidates for DeKalb County CEO.
McDowell said she was generally encouraged by the response.
“Honks, waves, smiles, thumbs-up,” she said. “It’s all right.”
At the nearby precinct inside Briarlake Baptist Church voter turnout was light. At noon, just 89 voters had cast ballots.
