Video: Veterans Day by the numbers

We salute the men and women who have served in our armed forces!

Sadly, the National Veterans Day parade — an annual downtown tradition — will not take place today because of safety concerns related to COVID-19. Instead, a “virtual parade” will air at 4:30 p.m. online.

This Election Day could be a record breaker, as voters across Alabama stood for hours in socially distanced lines to cast ballots.

That’s on top of the thousands of absentee ballots submitted in advance during the last 6 weeks.

Who came out on top? We could be in for a lonnnnnng night. Here are the results from today’s races in the Birmingham metro area and at the state level.

Update: Voter turnout for Alabama was 60.31 percent; for Shelby County, 69.56 percent; for Jefferson County, 54.90 percent.
