In 12 hours, the polls open in Alabama. Election Day will finally be here.

And in 24 hours, we’ll start our special live blog, right here at Wade on Birmingham. For the latest election results from local, state and national races, turn to CNN. But for the funniest, trippiest, most unbalanced coverage, turn to us.

Sure, we’ll keep you apprised of the counts as they come in, but we’ll also be fielding questions, comments, horror stories and outright lies from you, the voters.

Join Wade and Ginny and comedian Christopher Davis and any other pundits we can chain to a computer for four (or, Ohio willing, more) hours of Election Day coverage.

Whether you’re at a red party, a blue party or a party of one, log on to Vote 2008 to join the action.

And be sure to vote. See our special Vote 2008 section for sample ballots, bonus coverage and more.

Remember: Join us from 7 to 11 p.m. CST Tuesday for the Wade on Birmingham Election Night Live Blog.

Election Day is tomorrow!
