While most of the state won't vote until next Tuesday, Alabama lawmakers bent the rules for voters in Mobile and Baldwin Counties.
Today, those hoping to avoid a clash between Fat Tuesday and Super Tuesday went to the polls to pick their president.
A steady stream of voters went and out of polling places we visited.
"It was exciting to actually have a say so this time," said Payton Statkewicz, a first time voter.
Those who took advantage of the early voting may have noticed several names on the ballot that are no longer in the race.
Fred Thompson, Rudy Guiliani and John Edwards have all abandoned their bid for the white house since ballots were printed. Still, everyone we talked to managed to find someone to get behind.
"I voted for Huckabee," said one voter. "Obama for President," said another.
Today's votes will be sealed and counted next Tuesday when the rest of the state votes.
