After Justin Jones finished work early Tuesday, the commercial driver voted for Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential contest. But he didn’t feel good about his choice.“Trump is dangerous, he’s unhinged,” Jones, 33, said outside his East Point, Ga., polling station. “Harris needs to establish more dominance, I don’t want to feel like I’m pity voting for her.”Immigration was on his mind: Jones thought the border needs to be secured, an issue he said Harris ought to take more seriously.
