5:15 a.m. -- YMCA, downtown Anniston
The consensus among the early-morning workout crowd, where four TVs line the walls of the fitness area, is: Let the election end so the campaign commercials can go away.
Three state ads involved the Alabama secretary of state, whose office responsible for running Alabama elections.
The two major party opponents - Republican Beth Chapman and Democrat Nancy Worley - had ads running on Birmingham TV stations. Also, an ad encouraring Alabamians to get out and vote today was airing. That ad, paid for by the secretary of state's office, featured the incumbent Worley. The challenger Chapman has promised that if she is elected, she will not appear in ads encouraging voting on the grounds that it gives the incumbent an unfair advantage.

I think it's disgusting for people to litter polling places with signs and to have people out there to try to intimidate for your vote. I hope nobody votes for any candidate that engages in such slimy tactics.
Have you seen folks actively politicking at polling places? Or are you referring only to campaign signs?
At least now we know election day doesn't keep our editor from working out. Great idea to find out what regular (well, those who are physically fit) voters think.
