35 Democrats To Be Added To Election Challenge
You can’t be too surprised to learn that House Minority Leader Mike Hubbard plans to add 35 House Democrats to the growing lawsuits. If - big if - there is going to be action against any elected officials who were unopposed in the primary and did not file campaign finance reports, then the consequences should apply to all of them.
State Democratic Party Chair Joe Turnham continues to believe that the voters should be heard:
“I think ultimately the best thing to do is to throw all of this out and give all these people certificates of election and let them get about business,” Turnham said.
Turnham said he doesn’t think Alabama voters want any of the candidates elections thrown out - Republicans or Democrats.
“I don’t think this is indicative of what the people expressed on Nov. 7. I think somebody needs to call time-out and we need to get this done,” Turnham said.
Or as he said before, let’s fix the law and quit playing “gotcha.”
I continue to hear that the one most likely to be in trouble is Sen. Larry Means (D - Attalla) whose infraction is related to the general election. The charges against the others are related to the earlier primary election.
