COVINGTON, Ga. —
“I’m 81 today, but Sunday I’ll be 82,” Newton County voter Betty Cartledge told Channel 2′s Audrey Washington on Wednesday.
Cartledge has seen a lot in her 81 years. But she had never seen the inside of a voting booth, until Wednesday afternoon.
“I’m going to vote for the first time in my life,” Cartledge said.

Cartledge said she had never voted before because her husband did not think she should. He died last year.
This year, Cartledge voted.
