On this day:

Runoff election today

If you are a Republican, don't forget to go vote today. (The Democratic Party doesn't have any statewide runoffs.) The results of today's runoff primary will be listed on the Alabama GOP web site as soon as the vote totals are in. Here's a list of races:

Lieutenant Governor
Luther Strange
George Wallace, Jr.

State Auditor
Wes Allen
Samantha Shaw

Court of Civil Appeals Place 3
Phillip Wood
Terri Willingham Thomas

Court of Criminal Appeals Place 3
Clay Crenshaw
Sam Welch

Public Service Commission Place 2
John Amari
Perry Hooper

Endorsements by Alabama's major newspapers can be found at the following links. The candidates endorsed by each paper are in parentheses, in the order the offices are listed above:

Birmingham News (Strange, Shaw, Thomas, Welch, Amari)
Mobile Press-Register (Strange, Shaw, Thomas, Welch, none)
Huntsville Times (Strange, none, Thomas, Welch, none)
Anniston Star (Strange, none, none, none, none)
Decatur Daily (Strange, Allen, Thomas, Welch, none)
Montgomery Advertiser (Wallace, Shaw, Thomas, Crenshaw, Amari)
Tuscaloosa News (Strange, Allen, Thomas, Welch, Amari)

As for me, here's how I intend to vote: Luther Strange for Lieutenant Governor, Samantha Shaw for State Auditor, Terri Willingham Thomas for Court of Civil Appeals, Sam Welch for Court of Criminal Appeals, and "none of the above" for PSC.
