If you are reading the newspaper, watching television, or listening to the radio, then you know one thing is absolutely certain: Election Day is coming.

The entire country is glued to the presidential election, and no matter what happens on November 4, it will be an historic day. While Alabama hasn’t seen either of the presidential candidates campaigning here, we still get a sense of the election through the news generated in other states. There are other competitive races here in Alabama on the state and local level, and hopefully the interest they generate will bring record numbers of Alabamians to the polls to cast their vote.
