Voters in part of Jefferson County are choosing between Anthony "Alan" Johnson and Arthur Shores Lee in the Democratic runoff for House District 53. The winner faces Republican Willie "W.A." Casey in March. Voters in part of Mobile County are deciding whether Republican Margie Wilcox or Democrat Stephen Carr will represent District 104.
