Alabama | Church vans taking people to the polls

The rain has slowed or stopped, it’s dark in Alabama and in the middle of the state mist is rising up as people head home from work. The polls close at 7 p.m. central time, so there’s another 90 minutes for voting. I’d say the polls will be crowded with after-work voters.

The evening news didn’t give much detail on how the election was going, other than that voter turnout is high. A local church in Birmingham sent around vans to senior centers and retirement homes to take people to the polls to vote. Apparently they took more than 300 to the polls, which is a good thing.

I’ll probably wait until about 7:30 p.m. central time for the next update, after the polls have closed and begin reporting in.
