I was just at election judge training the other day. Early voting at the Legislative Center will include, as it did last time, some evening and Saturday hours.
Voting at the Holmes center, which already has cost the county $20,000 for new tabulator machines, will run 9-6 each of the four scheduled days. The place is convenient for DeKalbians but if you have to park in the visitors' lot you will have to pay a "poll tax" of $5.
