He stopped to see Marvin Hatcher, the local fire chief who has a medical transport business and promised to provide rides to the polls. But as he was cruising back to the office, he kept thinking about Curtis L. Jones.
"He's a good guy," Goode said. "I thought he always voted. I can't figure out why he doesn't."
