The Alabama House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday requiring county probate judges to conduct mandatory ballot audits after every county and statewide election.
The Alabama Republican Party is backing legislation requiring county probate judges to conduct mandatory ballot audits after every county and statewide election.
Two citizen activists from Lee County have prepared a bill to require each Alabama county to conduct a post-election audit on 10% of the voting precincts. Those sample precincts would be selected at random.
Speaking to 1819 News, attorney and HB 457 supporter Robert Garris said, “Every state has adopted some form or has in place a system for initiating a post-election audit, except for Alabama.”
A bill to require random audits of Alabama elections has cleared House Constitutions, Campaigns, and Elections Committee.
