In a state with a left-leaning media that sees the pale specter of voter intimidation and suppression behind every corner, one might expect bona fide accounts of voter intimidation during a presidential election to receive ample coverage.
Despite several key races in the state during Tuesday’s election, Alabama reported the lowest voter turnout for a presidential election in 36 years after the polls closed.
Another man is claiming that a Lee County poll worker demanded his entire family to remove attire supporting Donald Trump for president, reportedly being threatened with arrest and even threatening to forcibly remove hats from their heads and escorting the man's daughter to the restroom to turn her Trump-Vance sweatshirt inside out.
Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill said Tuesday afternoon that the state is on track for 44% to 45% of registered voters to vote in the midterm elections by the end of the day.
