About 15 voters were in line at the DeKalb School of the Arts before polls opened at 7 a.m. Throughout the early morning, around 20 more voters slowly streamed in.
Kelly McCollum, a DeKalb voter, came today to make a statement.
“Well, I’m just here to get more Democrats in office,” said McCollum.
“I’m just going for a straight Democratic ballot. For governor, I’m going right to voting for Stacey Abrams.”

Polls will be open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
