It’s primary run-off day in #alpolitics. Follow this thread for live updates from my polling place #ALSen #Vote #GetOutTheVote #VoteSafeAL /1

Alabama does not allow no-excuse absentee ballots nor does it have early voting. My precinct only has a Republican run-off in one race so we don’t expect huge crowds. Other Alabama precincts have both parties and multiple races #VoteSafeAL #ALSen /2

But, the morning rush has been brisk, if not crowded. 44 ballots cast at 7:30AM #VoteSafeAL #ALSen /3

All poll workers are wearing masks. Some voters are not. #VoteSafeAL #ALSen /4

We have hand sanitizer, gloves, and masks available for voters. Many are using the sanitizer. Haven’t seen anyone take a mask or gloves #VoteSafeAL #ALSen /5

We were able to space our tables six feet apart in our usual configuration. But only one poll worker per table, so it takes longer to process each voter through #ALSen #VoteSafeAL #alpolitics /6

In current set-up there is only enough room for 5 voters to wait in each check-in line. About three times that amount of space in the voting machine line. Fine for a sleepy one-race run-off. Untenable for #NovemberIsComing #ALSen #VoteSafeAL #alpolitics /7

In a normal presidential year, this polling place is packed. There is no way we can socially distance in here. There is some room to wait outside, but what if it’s raining and/or cold on November 3? #ALSen #VoteSafeAL #alpolitics /8
