In marshall county all day - monitoring the situation there.

She's live now after talking with voters about their experience.

Right now take a look voters are ..... i've seen a steady flow of voters all day - with the line at its longest right when polls opened and around lunch time.

I spoke with some voters who stopped by earlier today - and said they were able to get in and out quickly, even with a line.

Uhlir- "i haven't seen a line this long, ever since i've been voting."

Leah uhlir stopped by the guntersville recreation center just before noon tuesday to cast her ballot.

She told me she was surprised to see this line when she arrived.

But - she said whole process took her about 30 minutes.

Uhlir- "the line was outside of the door, but it moved very quickly."

Richard brown also voted around noon today - but he said the wait was actually shorter than he anticipated.

Brown- "just at the edge of the sidewalk there...so not bad at all."

He said tuesday's line was similar to what he's seen in previous elections.

Uhlir said she's glad the line moved quickly - and thinks the new electronic check-in system the county debuted this election had a big part in getting people in and out.

Uhlir- "with the electronic check-ins there was no 'you have to go to your last name' it was pretty easy.

There was about 5 lines, so they're moving pretty fast."

The probate judge's office said it expects the next rush to start as people get out of work.

So far - election officials say they haven't seen any serious issues.
