ATLANTA — Johnnie Brooks likes to vote early, in general — and early in the day, too.
Usually it helps limit the wait. But a lot of the 78-year-old’s neighbors seemingly had the same idea Saturday morning.
“I was trying to beat the crowd,” Brooks said a little after 7 a.m., bundled up in the cold after casting her ballot at Atlanta’s Metropolitan Library. “But of course it was already crowded when I came.”
