Voter turnout appears to be steady today across Alabama. But no matter how many voters show up, at one polling place in Homewood there’s bound to be some confusion. That’s because the satellite courthouse on Green Springs Highway serves not only as a polling place, but also the D-M-V. What happens when you mix voting with car tag renewals and license registration? We sent WBHM intern Kevin Lehner to check it out.

The polls close tonight at 7. We’ll have complete election coverage from NPR and the WHBM news team throughout the evening.
