While the eyes of most political junkies will be turned to whether Barack Obama officially clinches the Democratic nomination, there are other primaries happening today.

Voters in Alabama are voting today in House and Senate primaries.

Two House seats have rare vacancies due to the retirements of Republican Rep. Terry Everett in the 2nd District and Democratic Rep. Bud Cramer in the 5th District. Democrats and Republicans have hotly contested primaries in both congressional districts.

Despite the open seats, turnout is expected to be light.
