Uniontown has more voters than residents
The Montgomery Advertiser reports: Top lawmakers in the Alabama Legislature said Thursday that more people voting in the Uniontown municipal election than there are voting age people is a prime example of why the state needs to fight voter fraud.
House Speaker Mike Hubbard, Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh and Senate Majority Leader Jabo Waggoner said the voting pattern in Uniontown, with a population of 1,775 according to the latest census, was suspicious. The town has 2,587 registered voters, according to a report in the Tuscaloosa News. ...
Secretary of State Beth Chapman, the state’s chief election official, has been vocal about the need to confront voter fraud and said she supports photo voter ID, but said the issue in Uniontown is more about absentee ballots and voter rolls. ...
Local and state election officials told the News there could be a number of reasons why those registration numbers are so high, including the possibility that the census numbers indicating the population in the west Alabama town are wrong, that voter registrars have strict guidelines for removing people from the rolls, and that people in the town have post office boxes since there is no door-to-door mail delivery. -- Read the whole story --> Alabama state GOP leaders: 'Voter fraud alive and well' | The Montgomery Advertiser | montgomeryadvertiser.com
