Programming note

We're just under 10 hours away from the opening of polls in Alabama. It's quiet here in The Star's newsroom, so I thought I'd take a moment to let you know what to expect here at The Pulse on Tuesday.

Star staffers, with help from the Knight Fellows of the University of Alabama's Community Journalism program, will visit polling places around northeast Alabama throughout the day. They'll write about what they see and hear, and occasionally include photos and audio from the field. Meanwhile, The Star's Capitol correspondent, Brian Lyman, will provide updates from Montgomery about the day's events. Editor Bob Davis will keep an eye on what's happening across the nation.

The idea is to give readers a sense of what's going on at the ballot box where they live, accross town and around the country. But that's not all. We also want to know what you're seeing and hearing. At the bottom of every post here at The Pulse, you'll see a line that says "comments." That's where you come in. Click that line to add your thoughts to the blog.

We're all looking forward to seeing what you've got to say tomorrow. Don't forget to vote!
