Alabama: Hatch Act causes problem for GOP candidate
The Decatur Daily reports: Alabama Democratic leaders may file a complaint with federal authorities to disqualify the Republican nominee for Morgan County probate judge.
Party officials said GOP nominee Greg Cain is violating the Hatch Act, a federal law that prohibits a government employee whose job is financed with federal funds from running in a partisan election.
Cain is a school resource officer for the Decatur Police Department. ...
Allen Stover, grants administrator for the city of Decatur, said the Police Department receives four federal grants. The COPS grant that funded Cain's position expired two or three months ago; however, the department gets other grants, Stover said. -- Dems may dispute Cain's right to run: Hatch Act could disqualify GOP candidate for probate judge
