Before the polls even opened, the line at Monrovia Church stretched around three sides of the building.

The same held true for Willowbrook Baptist Church. The line starting forming at 6 a.m. and by 7 a.m. there were more than 400 people in line.

Alabama officials are expecting record turnout in this election.

Roughly 900 election workers were on hand to greet voters today - about 200 more than in the last presidential election.

Anyone still in line when the polls close at 7 p.m. will be allowed to cast a ballot.
