Southerner's turn for the presidency
In Ball Ground Georgia voters at Stancil's General Store, eight miles north of town, favor Jimmy Carter as a Southern choice for president. Farmers and locals praise Carter's Georgian roots, while one Republican-leaning retiree questions Carter's national chances and a few outsiders name Reagan or Ford as better options.
