Alabama Primary Underway
March 13, 2012
Alabama’s primary election is underway today, with polls open until 7 p.m.
Shortly after 8:00 this morning at the Atmore City Hall precinct, turnout appeared slow, with just one potential voter entering the polling place during a 15 minute period.
Nearby, a small group had set up an tent with a sign “When Women Vote, Democrats Win” — a paid political message from the Democratic National Convention. A few Ron Paul signs surrounded the entrance to the parking lot, otherwise there was little sign that an election was even taking place.

I remember in the 2004 election, a rather rotund lady was dressed barefoot, and wearing a Bush/Cheney T Shirt that appeared to double as a mini dress, she was strolling about the Firehouse/Poll Station. I am not shure if she was campaigning, or a Fireman Groupie. She did not influence my vote.
If you go to certain voting locations, they make it really hard for poll watchers to do their job, they view them in an antagonistic light.
People should get out and vote, this is the most important election of our lifetime and if Obama gets reelected, it may be the last election of our lifetime. Yet the Republican establishment has lined themselves up for defeat with putting Romney at the front of the ticket. I voted for Newt, we need big ideas, not just managing the decay.
@voter
I agree! I went to vote at 11:30 and they were still there. This happens every election time and it needs to stop.
I wonder if they measured how far they are from the polling place campaigning if they would be legal? NO! I guess the Sheriff handles that so he won’t be moving Lilly anytime soon. This county has gone to the dogs.
