STORYLINE:
Months after Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Congress following a falling-out with President Donald Trump, voters in her Georgia district headed to the polls Tuesday to choose her successor in a special election.

The Associated Press spoke with voters in Rome, Georgia, about who they supported to replace Greene and how they feel about politics today.

“I would prefer the replacement for Ms. Greene to be honest and trustworthy,” said Ebony Acker, a Georgia voter who cast her ballot for Democratic candidate Sean Harris.

Sheila Boutselis voted for a Republican candidate. She said she hopes the winner will be “willing to compromise and work with each other.”

“If both Republicans and Democrats could get their acts together, quit fussing among themselves and work together to come to a good solution for all of us,” Boutselis added.

Sebrina Padgett also voted for a Republican candidate. A former Trump supporter, she said she wants “somebody in there who will take care of regular people, normal people — more getting together, taking care of each other.”
