ATLANTA (AP) – The Latest on Georgia’s primary voting (all times local):

11:30 a.m.

Althea Joefield of Atlanta says she wants to see what an America would be like with a woman in the White House.

Outside her polling place at a church on Peachtree Street on Tuesday morning, she said “that’s what brought me out of my bed and brought me out here.” Joefield was voting at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, a congregation that traces its beginning to 1863 during the American Civil War.

Joefield said she also believes Hillary Clinton could bring “a wealth of experience” to the job. Joefield said that Clinton also has a vast support network, including her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
