Voters lined up early at the Metropolitan Library in Southwest Atlanta, which also served as an early voting location for Fulton County last week. About 60 people in raincoats and umbrellas to shield themselves from the drizzling rain stood outside at 6:30 a.m., including Clarice Mackey, who had tried to vote here early last week.

“I started to come Monday, and every day the line was wrapped around the parking lot,” she said.

Troy and Cheryl Thomas got up at 5 a.m. to get in line.
