It looks like Gov. Kay Ivey has won the Republican nomination for governor without a runoff, despite having eight opponents.
At 11 p.m., she had more than 55% of the vote. Lindy Blanchard was a distant second with slightly more than 19% of the vote. Tim James was the only other candidate with double-digit support, clocking in with slightly less than 16% of the vote.
On the Democratic side, it appears Yolanda Rochelle Flowers and Malika Sanders Fortier will face each other in a runoff June 21. They ended the day in a virtual tie with about 33% of the vote each.
The race for the Republican nomination to the U.S. Senate also appears to be going to a runoff. Katie Britt was the leader with about 45% of the vote, and Mo Brooks trailed with less than 29% of the vote. But she did not get the 50% + 1 votes needed to win the nomination outright.
Wil Boyd easily captured the Democratic nomination with 64% of the vote.
In Jefferson County, Sheriff Mark Pettway appears to have easily won re-nomination with 76% of the vote, and Jefferson County Commissioner Sheila Tyson reclaimed her seat with more than 86% of the vote.
The general election will be in November.
Alabama voters also appear have to approved the amendment allowing an $80 million bond issue for state parks on a 3-to-1 ratio.
