An orange 18-wheeler carrying precious cargo could be seen traversing Hall County thoroughfares Monday, making stop after stop and delivery after delivery in preparation for today’s primary. The truck pulled up to the Brenau Downtown Center just after 10 a.m. Two young workers hopped out of the cab, walked to the back, rolled up the gate and wheeled a trolley of voting machines down the plank and into Room C. And that’s where Evelyn Crain awaited with her staff. Poll workers like Crain were busy Monday setting up 35 voting precincts across the county.
