Coming in Wednesday's Star

Smells like politics today, folks. A quirky primary comes to an end officially at 7 p.m. when local polls close. We'll have complete local and state coverage of the winners, losers and spoilers in Tuesday's Republican and Democratic primaries. In addition to the results, there will be analyses of key races, including the gubernatorial and state judical contests.

A few tales from the election front are already congealing on Star Staff Writer Steve Ivey's roving polling blog of Calhoun County this morning. Check him out -- and let him know your Election Day news -- here.

Other stories being considered include an examination of a new housing development along Greenbrier-Dear Road in south Anniston, just off Quintard Avenue, as well as a fresh look at Alexandria's housing and education boom.
