LIBERTY CITY COMMUNITY CENTER, SAVANNAH
Jennifer Key, a Savannah native, lives in the Liberty City area. She was voting Tuesday at the Liberty City Community Center. Key said she was specifically interested in the school board and governor’s races. The Liberty precinct has more registered voters for this election than last. “I believe maybe people want change, and maybe they see something that they’re not agreeing with,” said Key, who believes her vote is important. “For me, I know that’s what my ancestors fought for, the right for us to do it, my mom always felt it was important, so when I was 18, it was mandatory for me to go vote. So I always wanted, felt like it’s important, because she always instilled in me that it’s important.”
Mr. Big Daddy D Lott, a Savannah resident for 30 years, lives in the Liberty City area voting at the community center there. He said he’s concerned about voting rights. “That we get a free election, that we get people that’s going to help support the community.”
Lott said his neighbors want more. “We need more opportunities, we need fair voting, we need better jobs, fair housing, low food prices, gas prices, this is stuff that’s going on daily.”
Jerome Williams, a Savannah native, lives in the Liberty City neighborhood and said cost of living is his top concern. He said he was interested in every races and said “I think we are really tired and want change.”
