Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and 256Today CEO Mecca Musick take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— How did the U.S. Senate race get so close?

— Will there be a runoff for Governor Kay Ivey, or does she escape without one?

— What other races matter on Tuesday?

Secretary of State John Merrill joins the show to discuss how ready the state is for Tuesday’s elections, how primaries in other states have gone and everything happening in Alabama politics this week.

Jackson closes the show with a “Parting Shot” directed at people who watch the show and implores them to vote because they are the informed few.

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 5-9AM weekdays on WVNN and on Talk 99.5 from 10AM to noon.
