Election officials say the turnout for Alabama's single-issue election is light.
Voters are deciding Tuesday
whether to take $437 million out of a state trust fund to help balance
the state General Fund budget for the next three years.
A Morgan County election
official said it's an unusual election because there are no signs
outside the polling places urging people to vote yes or vote no. A
Russell County election worker also noted the lack of signs and said
anyone driving by a polling place would have a hard time telling that
it's election day. An election official in Mobile County said the
turnout started out slow but picked up a little when the rain stopped.
The polls are open until 7 p.m. Tuesday.
