Polls Indicate Alabama GOP Primary Election Run-Off Likely As Katie Britt, Mo Brooks, And Mike Durant Battle It Out

Polls indicate that Alabama Senate hopeful Katie Britt appears to have locked up first place in the Alabama primary, but it does not seem likely that she will earn a large enough percentage of votes to avoid a run-off election against whoever finishes in second place.
