Irma Cristancho, a 65-year-old actress, and her retired husband, Pablo Sanabria, 64, came to Duluth City Hall to vote together.
This is the first time they have voted in the past couple of years. They felt motivated and excited to cast their ballot and have their voices heard. They expressed concerns about immigration and wanted to see the rights of immigrants respected.
“I ask that people be aware that we are all human beings, and that everyone who comes from Latin America to live in this country comes in search of a better life,” Cristancho said. “We are not all murderers, or rapists, or anything of the sort—contrary to what is being said. There are so many abuses being committed against these individuals, and it is simply wrong to separate families the way they are doing.”
Sanabria said he usually resonates more with the Republican Party and holds conservative views.
“However, it seems to me that the Republican Party has completely gone off the rails these days and is committing many atrocities. Consequently, my approach has been to vote for a mix—some Republicans, some Democrats. I haven’t aligned myself with just one party,” he said.
“I try to view everything very objectively, without taking into account which party a candidate belongs to. That being said, it seems to me that the Democratic proposals at the moment are more pro-Hispanic. While this doesn’t personally affect me—since I am a citizen—I see that it does affect many other people, and I want to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.”
They both voted for Senator Jon Ossoff. Sanabria said he thinks Ossoff has very interesting proposals, while Cristancho said she wants to see younger people in office.
“We really need young people, people who understand what the world is like today,” she said. “I mean, all those we’ve seen before—past politicians—are completely obsolete. It’s time to look to the younger generation, to let them and their fresh ideas take the lead. Just as the world evolves, we have to evolve too.”

Courtnee Dean, a 41-year-old business owner, said outside Duluth City Hall Tuesday that it was difficult to select candidates in the 2026 Midterm Election because she didn’t know many of them.
Dean moved to Georgia 2 years ago from Philadelphia.
She said she voted for the most part for Democrat candidates but also for few Republicans in the local races.
She said the economy and immigration were at the top of her mind when voting. She is a single mom with three children and takes care of her elder mother who is on social security.
“My daughter’s in high school and you teach your kids to go to school, get a good education,” Dean said. “You encourage them to go to college, but kids out of college, [they] can’t afford to live out there.”
Immigration is an important subject for her. She expressed concern for families that have been torn apart by immigration enforcement, saying “I can’t imagine what those parents, those kids [are going through].”
She said she is praying to see some change.

Dr. Carla Prince, 61, retired, chose not to disclose who she voted for or which party she supported. Instead she told ACPC she was focused on one issue: voting.
“I really like the area of freedom to be able to vote,” Prince said. “Keeping that, and then even more protections when it comes to ensuring and securing your vote.”
Prince has been a Georgia resident for 12 years. She was concerned after watching past Fulton County election issues and didn’t want more “unforeseen trickeries to get individuals to not be able to vote.”
When asked if a candidate spoke to these concerns, she said one did, but declined to say who.
She did add that she was mostly invested in the Governor’s race.
She didn’t pay attention to downballot races. “Who do local (politicians) go to? The governor,” she explained.
She said she was anxious about today’s election, but hopes it will go in a “positive direction.”

Angela, 56—who declined to provide her last name because she has strong opinions about the Cobb School Board and has children in school—said her politics land somewhere in the middle, but also said she might consider herself a libertarian.
After she cast her ballot at the Mercy Hill Church in West Cobb she said the economy, public safety and taxes were her top issues in addition the contentious Cobb School Board elections.
She said she favored the move by Chris Ragsdale, the school superintendent, to pull a book from the school library for its obscene content, but she was horrified by the way he handled—sending a particularly explicit excerpt of the book in a school system-wide email blast, she said.
“It was probably one of the most devastating, heart-wrenching, and putrid emails that I have ever received coming from a superintendent of our school board,” she said.
“If he’s in leadership I need to trust him to make decisions,” she added.
She watches both Fox and CNN news channels along with google searches to inform herself.
This year, Angela split her ticket for the statewide races, but did not want to say how exactly.
“It’s about trust,” she said.

Isabelle, a 34-year-old therapist, said she always votes Democrat down the line, but felt a lot of voter apathy.
“I’ve been feeling pretty disillusioned,” she said.
Though it takes a lot for her to stay energized, the races in Georgia, Texas and Ohio have excited her.
“The possibility of change is enough to get me over any apathy,” she said.
She wants to make the world better for her kids.
“I think things have been moving in a difficult direction the last few years, and I’m just excited at the possibility of change” she said. “I think Jon Ossoff is a really amazing candidate, and I hope that he wins.”
GABRIELA HENRIQUEZ STOIKOW
Outside Duluth City Hall Tuesday, Dean Johnson, a 41-year-old music industry professional said he hoped his vote will actually make a difference.
“The difference that I would like to see in America it’s just everyone helping one another and being better to one another and just being more positive,” he said.
He is not expecting to see an immediate change in the country but he is optimistic that there will be some kind change. He didn’t share whether he was supporting one party or another.
“I’ve realized that things only move quicker when more people are on the same page. And there’s too much division as of right now. I’m hoping that it kind of closes the gap over the years.
“I can only hope for the best. I’m a very optimistic individual, so I’m always looking for the best in people,” Johnson said.
He added that he was excited to vote because he gets to show her daughter that she has a voice. But he was also not excited because “I’m not sure how much what I do is going to truly make that much of a difference… I hope that it does.

Social media posts made by pastor of Decatur polling precinct draw concerns of voter intimidation
Civil rights organizations call on elections officials to ensure neutrality at church poling precinct led by a pastor who made Islamaphobic social media posts.
“CAIR-Georgia and the Georgia Muslim Voter Project strongly condemn the anti-Muslim statements made by Pastor Alan Smith of The Church at Decatur Heights, an official polling location in DeKalb County,” the organizations said in a post to the Georgia Muslim Voter Project’s Instagram page.
Smith has made three posts to his Facebook page since Oct. 26, 2026, each about Muslims.
“Why would anyone want this to be allowed in America? (And yet, Muslims are being accepted and even being elected to offices in our cities, states and congress.)
“Vote Red to help stop this madness,” Smith’s Oct. 26 post reads.
ACPC attempted to contact Smith via the phone number on The Church at Decatur Heights’ website; however, no one answered the phone.
CAIR-Georgia and the Georgia Muslim Voter Project have set up a nonpartisan election protection hotline to answer voting questions and help address concerns. The phone number is 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683)
KRISTA BREWER
Moria brought along her two daughters Tuesday morning when she voted at the Candler Park precinct in DeKalb County.
Alice age 10 said she will definitely vote when she turns 18 because she wants to be a part of deciding who gets elected.
They had a good experience. Everybody in the precinct was very helpful, Moria said.

Alex Ringold, 35, voted a Democratic ticket and was very hopeful of a blue wave.
“I think it’s a referendum on the president, honestly,” he said. “I’m just generally tired of the drama and the nonsense, so, just wanted to see some change.”
“I’d like to see, on both sides, just the people treat each other a bit better,” he added.
He said he supports Sen. Jon Ossoff and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms. “I pretty much voted downballot Democrat. I’ll be honest, most of the times with these elections, I’ll read into the candidates a bit more. This time, I’m just kind of sick of it, so I just voted downballot Democrat”
He said he read into the Georgia constitutional amendments proposed but the language was confusing. He supported the measure to provide more funding to EMS services.

Around noon Wednesday, Juan voted at the Lilburn precinct at the Salem Missionary Baptist Church—one of the new Gwinnett locations announced just two days ago.
He didn’t have much time to speak, as he had to get back to his job working with concrete, but, he said he was motivated to vote, “para que sube la economia…es muy baja,” to boost the economy…it’s very low.
Juan said he hopes for a change in immigration enforcement. He personally knows of ten people who’ve been deported.
“Los inmigrantes que no tienen papeles, los agaran y [deportan] a Mexico or para otro pais,” the immigrants who don’t have papers, they catch them and deport them to Mexico or another country, he said.
He hopes “que cambian las cosas,” that things change.
Husband and wife couple and first time voters Validar and Marujan came to vote at the Salem Missionary Baptist Church precinct in Lilburn around 1 p.m. Originally from Attock, Pakistan, they weren’t familiar with the candidates they voted for, and speaking to 285 South in Urdu, they explained that they didn’t speak English well. They came to vote because “government ka order hai, kurna partha hai,” it’s the government’s order, you have to do it.

In DeKalb County, voter cherishes Election Day voting, while defending early voting
When Kristin Unzicker, a 48-year-old public health professional, tied her dog Magnolia’s leash to a pole in front of the Israel Baptist church polling place in DeKalb County, she promised her pet she’d be quick.
“It was very fast, I was gone five minutes or less,” Unzicker said.
“I vote on Election Day because I love the energy and excitement,” she said, explaining that goes back to her high school civics and history teacher who boasted in his classroom about being the first to vote on Election Day.
“Even before I could vote, I was just instilled a love and the importance of the electoral process and our civic duty”, she said, crediting her “favorite teacher.”
Early voting has since grown into a partisan issue issue, with Democrats and Republicans clashing over it. Unzicker, like most Democrats, favors access to early voting.
“It’s about removing barriers and allowing more people to be able to vote. So there is nothing partisan about early voting or voting at all,” she said. “We should never take away anybody’s right to vote because that is what makes us Americans.”
As to this November’s elections, Unsicker stresses their importance.
“I think we’re all hoping as a country, regardless of who you vote for, that we can all just take a collective exhale, and let some of this strife go away, and take back over our country for ourselves, and allow us to live, and allow other people, everyone, to be able to live a healthy, happy life, not just the people with money and power,” she said.
She is not sure weather or not to trust the predictions of a blue wave. “I am not cautiously optimistic, but I’ve heard the term nauseously optimistic.”

John Mangcinkhai voted for a mix of both Democrat and Republican candidates at the Clarkston Library precinct this morning. It was his first time voting in Georgia, and he said he wasn’t familiar with the candidates.
“Right now situation is very difficult for everybody,” Mangcinkhai said. “I hope they can figure out better life for the public.”
Originally from Burma, he moved to the Clarkston area from Ohio this past June to be closer to extended family and friends living here.
“The economy and you know everything not easy to get right now. I know a lot of families, my friends, they suffering with benefits, Medicaid, schooling,” he said.
Finding time to vote when he lived in Ohio was hard, since he worked in a restaurant seven days a week.
Today, he was happy he made it to the precinct and hopes his vote makes a difference, he said. “It’s small thing, but I think it’s gonna be make better.”

Walt Smith, a 57-year-old tutor at Georgia State University, voted Republican “across the board.”
His top issue is closing the borders, even though he knows that’s not on the ballot. He is also focusing on the struggling economy and gas prices.
He main priority was the governor’s race. He said Republican nominee Rick Jackson is a “family man.”
His biggest issue with Bottoms was her tenure as mayor.
“I saw the fires and riots and all that, so I lived it,” he said. “I know how it scared her, and she backed off. So that makes me wonder how she’ll do as Governor, an even more important position.”3 HOURS AGONOVEMBER 3, 2026

In DeKalb County, some Democratic voters remain cautious despite predictions of a blue wave
Ryan Sterritt, 46, and his wife Angela Nichols, 51, voted together at the Israel Baptist Church polling place in DeKalb County, as they always do. “We vote in every election. But with this one more than others in a while, we want to have our voice heard and make some changes. Our country’s going downhill. Politics are going crazy,” Sterritt said.
While the Democratic couple shares the same political views, their expectations for today’s results differ. “I’m hopeful, but realistic,” he said.
“He’s pessimistic,” Nichols whispered with a laugh.
Sterritt said he was trying to stay hopeful but realistic after polling numbers in previous elections didn’t align with the results.
Nichols described herself as an “eternal optimist,” and these midterm elections are no exception.
“I’m hoping that the polls are correct and that the wave of Democrats is coming. I feel very disgusted by what’s going on. I feel like our democracy is being tested right now, and so I think it’s really important now more than ever to participate in democracy and hopefully make some changes because things are so bad. I can’t stand Donald Trump,” she said.
Other voters are wary of predictions of a blue wave.
“We’ll believe it when we see it,” said Dan Konisky, 55, who voted for Democrat candidates. The owner of a sports apparel company remains “happy” that the midterms are today. “It’s time to make some changes and get some new people in office. So I’m excited.”

Micah Clark, an 18-year-old artist, was excited to vote for the first time Tuesday at the George Pierce Park polling place in Gwinnett County.
“I’m kind of thinking about the economy,” Clark said, “and the war is kind of a main [issue]”
For the most part, he wasn’t rooting for any candidates but he really liked Gwinnett County Commissioner candidate Benjamin Culberson, “but the rest were kind of, I don’t know, everybody sucks,” he said. “I don’t think there was, there was a candidate that I saw that was, not either funded by big PACs or, in the past, they randomly did not do anything good.”

Confusion in Gwinnett and DeKalb as voters show up to wrong polling locations
At George Pierce Park in Gwinnett County, poll manager Tammy Wallace said many people have shown up to vote only to find out that this is not their voting location.
This precinct serves as an advance in-person location, so many people arrive expecting to vote only to find out they must go to their assigned Election Day precinct, usually close to home. Wallace said this has happened for years, ever since advance in-person locations were established. When this happens, election workers guide them to the right polling place.
Reporters spoke with at least six people who came to the precinct to cast their ballots but were told they must vote at a different location.
Two translators working as volunteers at the voting site said that, between 7 and 11 am, they encountered at least 25 people who were at the wrong polling location.
Meanwhile, in DeKalb County, the polling manager at the Clarkston polling place said that “quite a few” people today were in the wrong precinct.
A poll watcher showed a reporter their tally of voters who erroneously came to the precinct, at it was nearly 100.
The poll watcher, who only provided their first name Luke, said he had worked elections before and said this seems to be more than usual.

Faith-based poll watchers spotted across metro Atlanta
Stone Mountain resident Wendy Collins set up a chair in front of the parking lot of the Clarkston Library precinct at around 7 a.m. this morning.
She was there, she said, to “observe and be a peaceful tranquil presence.” So far this morning, she said, it’s been “very peaceful and quiet.”
Her pastor from Ray of of Hope Church in Decatur is the director of Faiths United to Save Democracy‘s Georgia chapter, and inspired her to come out poll monitor, she said.
“This election, as a senior, most important to me is healthcare, economics, you know our economy,” said Wendy, who voted early. “I just hope everyone has their rights and freedoms to vote today with no problems.”
At Liberty Baptist Church in Atlanta, Lawrence Boudon, 66, a Poll Chaplain Peacekeeper with the same organization, said he’s there to put off people who “might cause trouble.”
The concept, he explained, is that if they see a clergy member they’ll back off. He’s been doing the work for years — in the hopes of changing the world for the better — so far, he said, he hasn’t seen any conflict.
“I don’t know how much I’m changing it, but every little bit counts,” Boudon said.
“Basically, I put people’s minds at ease to try and deescalate conflict.” He and other poll watchers from other groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Georgia and the Democratic Party of Georgia have been standing in the rain for hours.
They all said that voting has gone smoothly so far, and noted the lack of lines to vote. Across Fulton County, wait times at all 129 polling places have consistently been reported at zero minutes, according to the county elections office.

GOP voters in Suwanee concerned about cost of living, war in Iran
Two Republican voters at Georgie Pierce Park in Suwanee, Mike and Mickey, said the cost of the living was their top issue this election, and neither were thrilled by their options.
Mike, a 50 year-old who works in retail, said he feels like the country is going in the wrong direction. He voted mainly Republican, but said he also skipped a few races, including the constitutional amendments because he didn’t know much about them.
He said he’s worried about the economy, affordability and taxes.
“I’m voting more against than for,” he said, of his decision to vote Republican this year. “I’d rather have nothing change than it get worse — Democrats would do way more damage.”
Mickey, a 57-year-old healthcare worker seemed similarly resigned to his options, expressing dismay at the Trump administration’s prolonged war in Iran.
“I think trying to control the cost of living and inflation would be a good thing, and — I think we need to probably get out of Iran as soon as possible as well,” he said.
Will the candidates he voted for will help with affordability? It’s yet to be seen, he said.

In Atlanta one voter turned to the DSA, another to Chat GPT
Kellyanne Elliot, a 31-year-old Legal Aid attorney who voted at Liberty Baptist Church in the Old Fourth Ward, is fed up with both major parties.
“I kind of despise the Democratic party, and Republicans. But I tend to vote on economic issues, sort of out of good faith for my friends who care about poverty, who still have a lot of faith in the Democratic Party,” she said.
To guide her votes, she said she turned to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) voter guide, and even though she voted for Democrats, she said she feels that by and large Democratic candidates don’t speak to the concerns of the working class.
Meanwhile, Precious a 24-year-old student and Amazon delivery driver who wished to only be identified by her first name said she voted mostly for Democrats and used ChatGPT to learn about the candidates’ platforms.
She said was worried about student debt, healthcare and taxes and that she felt “most aligned” with Democratic US Senator Jon Ossoff and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms. But, she was stumped by the constitutional amendment questions at the bottom of her ballot along with the Fulton County penny sales tax for education (ESPLOST).
“I just kind of like, did my best,” she said.
AI chatbots unreliable for local elections info: study
Chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity provide false answers on local issues at a rate of 1 in 12 times, according to an analysis published last month by AI analytics firm Searchable.
The London-based company graded thousands of responses from ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Perplexity to questions pertinent to voters in five US cities: Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Las Vegas and Portland (Maine).
Performance among the AI platforms varied wildly, from Google’s AI mode returning false answers 2.9% of the time, to Perplexity returning false answers 22.6% of the time. ChatGPT’s error rate was 4.4% and Gemini’s 6.2%.
Of the nearly 7,500 responses analyzed, 1,357 responses were to questions about Atlanta and Georgia. Where Searchable found an error rate of about 1 in 14 when fact checking answers against government data.
The focus was on questions about issues ranging from nuclear power generation to crime rates. The idea was to see how voters might inform themselves, fact-check statements by politicians, and challenge assumptions that might push them to vote a certain way. 56 MINUTES AGONOVEMBER 3, 2026

In DeKalb county, a jaded voter denounces money in politics and a broken political system
At the Israel Baptist Church polling place in DeKalb county, Kim Vancourt, 56, voted for Democrat candidates, though he did so reluctantly.
“I came to vote for the lesser of two evils”, she said.
Vancourt, an accountant, said she is “over the [White House] administration, robbing the country blind,” adding that “both sides are a little complicit in the corruption.”
“We’re not going to get anywhere until we vote money out of politics. I don’t think the Democratic Party is listening to its people”.
She said she sees little difference between Democrats and Republicans. “I feel like they just put compassion on and a smile, and the other side is just cruelty for the point of cruelty.”
The rising cost of living from housing to groceries and electricity, she said, makes her wish there were better options to vote for, or if the lack of good options was the point.
“We’re living paycheck to paycheck on purpose. They have us struggling, so we don’t pay attention to what’s going on,” she said, adding that “you can’t organize. You can’t do anything if you can’t think beyond your two jobs and your grocery bills, and you’re making choices between paying for your health care for your family or paying for your electricity.”1 HOUR AGONOVEMBER 3, 2026

Fulton County Commission District 4 candidate Rohit Malhotra ‘leaves it all on the table’
For voters in Fulton County Commission District 4, it’s a four-way race for the special election to replace Mo Ivory, who is poised to become the next County Commission Chair.
One of the four, Rohit Malhotra, was outside the Liberty Baptist Church polling place in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward this morning. It was his third stop of the day.
“I’ve left it all on the table,” he said. “I’m totally at peace. When you feel like you’ve done everything to run a fair, ethical campaign, you feel good.”
Malhotra, the founder and director of the Center for Civic Innovation, also ran for Atlanta City Council President in 2025, losing to Marci Collier Overstreet. Malhotra is positioning himself as the progressive candidate in the race.
Also running for the District 4 commission seat are:
– Natalie Hall, who held the seat before being ousted by Ivory in 2024. In January 2024, Hall was found liablefor sexual harassment against her former chief of staff, costing the county nearly a million dollars.
– Karen René, who previously served on East Point’s city council from 2014-2024.
– Aaron Sampson, a former political consultant who until May was the CEO of the Atlanta ToolBank, a nonprofit that provides construction tools and other resources to other nonprofits undertaking projects.

Brendan Gaines, 48, was among the 20 people lined up outside the Pittman Park Recreation Center in Atlanta before the polls opened at 7 a.m. Tuesday.
Gaines, who lives on disability benefits, hoped to “stop the bleed” with his vote by electing officials who would provide checks on President Donald Trump’s administration.
His main concerns were statewide and federal races. He said that he was happy with the way governments are run locally.
While Gaines thinks Gov. Brian Kemp did a good job in office, he voted for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms, who he believes better understands him than the Republican nominee Rick Jackson.
Hannah, 28, who did not want to be identified by her full name, also voted for Bottoms. She said Jackson, or “Slick Rick” as she called him, would support the expansion of data centers in the state, something she opposes.
She added that she supported the expansion of Medicaid, a pillar of Sen. Jon Ossoff’s reelection campaign. Hannah believes it was important to elect Bottoms as governor because Jackson, who is a healthcare executive, would not work with Ossoff on Medicaid expansion.
Watching from a picnic table nearby, Sister Mary Praniski, 77, and Shandal Sullivan, 59, began their three-hour shift as poll chaplains and peacekeepers for the group Faiths United to Save Democracy.
“They ask clergy and laypeople in any church organizations to be present and do what we do to calm down any situation that may come up,” Praniski explained.
This was her third election in that role, and Sullivan’s first.
“I’ve never had any problems,” Praniski said. “Hopefully, we don’t have any problems today.”

Record early voting bodes well for Dems heading into Election Day
Before polling places opened at 7 a.m. today, some 2.8 million Georgians had already cast their ballots. That figure represents an increase of roughly 300,000 advance voters compared to the 2022 midterms, for a turnout rate of 37.6% of active voters, according to the Georgia Secretary of State.
Much of that high turnout is concentrated in the Democratic-leaning metro Atlanta counties, like Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb and Gwinnett where turnout heading into Election Day was 44.4%, 47.1%, 45.1% and 39% respectively. Meanwhile rural counties are, for the most part, showing relatively lower turnout rates, suggesting a lack of enthusiasm among GOP voters.
Historically, the early vote is heavily Democratic, with GOP voters favoring Election Day voting. One analysisof early voting patterns by ABC News indicates that skew may be even more lopsided in Georgia this year. So, for Republicans, the question is how much ground can they make up on Election Day? 4 HOURS AGONOVEMBER 3, 2026
