Alabama's 2018 election season will be one for the record books

The excitement surrounding Alabama's much-anticipated 2018 election contests has been pushed back by about three months due to the unanticipated race for Jeff Sessions' U.S. Senate seat. This ongoing contest will occupy the news through late September.

It was previously thought that June 6 would be the opening bell since fundraising for next year's June 5 Primary could begin at that time. However, the bell will probably commence to chime in full force by Labor Day.

It will be a year for the record books. The ballot will be so long that it will take most folks 15 minutes to vote.
