Alabama: group formed to fight absentee fraud
The Montgomery Advertiser reports: Voter fraud has been a fact- of- life in Alabama elections for many years, especially in the state's Black Belt region where investigations, indictments and occasional jail sentences are almost expected.
Earlier this year, hundreds of Black Belt residents got together to form an organization they dubbed the Democracy Defense League.
The purpose of the group is to focus attention on fraudulent voter activities and to push legislators to pass more stringent laws to stop them.
If past efforts are any indication, the DDL project would seem to be facing an uphill fight. It's been tried before without much success. -- montgomeryadvertiser.com
