0:00.0 | Thank you for joining me this evening and and happy election day to all who celebrate. |
0:07.0 | I know November 5th is still 54 days away, but today voters started casting the first ballots of the 2024 election. |
0:16.4 | Yesterday absentee ballots went out in the state of Alabama and today we are seeing local |
