Alabama: Sen. Singleton says he may be a victim of voter fraud

The Tuscaloosa News reports: A state senator from West Alabama implicated in a Hale County voter fraud case said his name may have been forged on an absentee voting document that itself may have been forged.

In an affidavit, attorney general special agent George Barrows said Sen. Bobby Singleton, D-

Greensboro, is under investigation in connection with alleged illegal absentee voting in 2004 and 2005.

Singleton has not been charged with any wrongdoing, and he said that he hasn’t been interviewed, put under oath, asked for a handwriting sample or even contacted by the AG’s office. ...

Barrows said a witness told him his name was forged on an absentee voting affidavit and that “the purported signature of Bobby Singleton” appears on the affidavit as the witness.

Singleton said that he does witness absentee ballots, but since he doesn’t know who Barrows is talking about, he could not say whether his signature is on the affidavit, whether his name had been forged, or whether the witness was mistaken. -- Senator says he may be victim of voter fraud | TuscaloosaNews.com
