It is Election Day

It is Election Day in the United States. Here in Alabama Donald Trump is expected to win. The state has gone Republican in every presidential election since voting for Jimmy Carter in 1976. Democrat Hillary Clinton and Trump both visited Alabama during their respective primary battles, but both candidates have concentrated their efforts on battleground states since securing their respective party nominations. Following in their paths, volunteers from both parties have been dispatched to campaign in neighboring Florida where the race is considerably tighter. In Alabama voters will also find some Congressional races, a state board of education seat up for grabs and 14 amendments on the ballot. Secretary of State John Merrill has predicted a record number of voters will cast ballots today after voter registration hit a record high of 3.3 million. Polls are open until 7 p.m.
