Democrat County Commissioner Indicted On Voter Fraud Charges In Alabama
The Federalist ^ | 1/13/23 | Shawn Fleetwood

Posted on 01/14/2023 8:11:28 AM PST by CFW

The son of a notable Alabama civil rights activist was indicted on charges related to voter fraud on Wednesday, undercutting claims by leftist organizations and corporate media that legitimate concerns about the issue are unfounded.

According to Advance Local, an Alabama news outlet, Perry County Commission Chairman Albert Turner Jr. has been charged by Fourth Judicial Circuit District Attorney Michael Jackson and Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill “with voting more than once, which is a misdemeanor, and harvesting ballots, a felony.” The alleged incidents occurred during two separate elections in May and November of last year.

I thought ‘charged’ would mean a photo in the public view.

I’ve got $100 that says charges will be dismissed.

Need to make an example that this will not be tolerated. I would be fine if those caught stealing/cheating elections were executed but I know that’s not going to happen. If you give them at least 5 years in prison, it might greatly reduce the problem.

Perry County is not very populous, but it is very poor and black. Race baiters are always getting elected by promising fixes but slipping cash into their own pockets. Alabama has certain counties that this behavior is too typical and normal.

“As of the 2010 United States Census, there were 10,591 people living in the county. 68.7% were Black or African American, 30.3% White, 0.3% Asian, 0.2% Native American, 0.2% of some other race and 0.4% of two or more races. 1.1% were Hispanic or Latino (of any race).

Only 10K folks in the entire county. Not even as big as most small towns across the USA.

Thanks. It’s always good to get a local’s view on these matter.

We think of ballot fraud being mainly found in large cities and counties. Instituting it in small counties in someways is easier to do, because only a handful (as in two or three long-entrenched county leaders) have been in charge of the ballot counting in those small precincts for decades. Voters just think, “so-and-so will handle all those details” and people assume all is on the up and up.

Meanwhile, “so-and-so” installs the candidate they prefer (themself?) or turns a blind eye to ballot stuffing and fraud.

I was going to say “Nice necktie!”, but decided that would trigger too many racists.
So I will just say that his mother must be proud.
