Michelle Price says she’s been voting since she turned 18.

“I’ve never missed any voting: the local, the state, the community, I’m always voting,” said Price, now in her early 60s. “It’s very important, and I don’t understand why people have just gotten so apathetic about it and ‘oh well, things are going’, but they oughta see the state that the country’s in now. We’re in some trouble.”

Price said recently she started getting mail saying she was not a registered voter. So, to double-check, she pulled into the parking lot of the Candler Library in Decatur on Tuesday where a voter registration drive was happening.
