And the vote rolls on

Brian, our intrepid Montgomery reporter, canvassed voters who were desperate to end negative ads:

Individual voters have individual reasons for voting. Calix Bilme a real estate agent votes on taxes. Mary Bohannon, an accountant, said education was important, "I have a lot of teachers in the family, and they've seen an improvement under Riley."

Hannah Jacobs, a kindergarten teacher, made the judiciary important.

But all could agree that the tone of this season's campaign was uniformly terrible.

"I think something needs to be done," Jacobs said. "If you want my support, say 'This is who I am, this is what I will do for the state of Alabama."

Jacobs and Bohannon say they want to see an end to the negative attacks.
