UNION CITY, Georgia – Jessica Gibson has voted at C.H. Gullatt Elementary School in Union City, Georgia, for 16 years. But when she showed up for Tuesday’s primary she was told to go to another school.
‘‘I expected to be able to vote,” said Gibson, 50, as she left the polling site. “I haven’t received anything telling me that it changed.”
