DON'T FORGET TO VOTE

Voters in Limestone County will head to the polls tomorrow for the  special election to select our Federal Senator.  Jeff Sessions represented Alabama for many years and did so with honor.  He now serves in the Trump administration as the Attorney General, in the Department of Justice.

The election is set for November 7 at Elkmont Town Hall (if you are in district) or your local voting place.  You can vote between 7 am-7 pm. Don't forget to bring ID, your driver's license works. Turnout will probably be low so your vote carries much more weight.

Roy Moore beat Luther Strange in the run off primary election earlier this year to be the Republican candidate.  Doug Jones is on the opposite side of the ballot as the Democrat candidate. 

Hill Spirit doesn't support either candidate, not a Roy Moore fan.  If he is innocent of accusations, all is good. If he is guilty, he will be removed and Governor Ivey will select a replacement.  Can't support Doug Jones because of his issue positions, not because he is a Democrat. Still believe Mo Brooks would have been the best nominee and all this would have been avoided.  On a happy note, whoever is elected will only have a two year term before the next senate election.
