Finally my turn - Anniston Henry Road 2:30

About 55 miles later, it's finally my turn to vote. Sticking with the theme of the morning, I was the youngest person in the room by a long shot at Anniston's First Presbyterian Church on Henry Road when I casted my vote today. I was voter number 343.

I was handed a "sample ballot" out on the front porch from the New Alabama Voters League. The sample had candidates circled already, presumably for the candidates that the league supported. The groups endorsed a straight Democratic ticket except for coroner, where they sided with the Republican.

The sample ballot also offered free rides to the polling places. I wonder if they ask who you will vote for before they come get you? Has anyone ever tried that?
