Democrat County Commissioner Indicted On Voter Fraud Charges In Alabama

On Wednesday, the son of a prominent Alabama civil rights activist was charged with voter fraud. This is in direct contradiction to claims made by leftist organizations as well as corporate media that there are legitimate concerns.

According to Advance LocalAn Alabama news outlet reported that Perry County Commission Chairman Albert Turner Jr. was charged by Fourth Judicial Circuit District District Attorney Michael Jackson, and Alabama Secretary John Merrill “with voting more than once, which is a misdemeanor, and harvesting ballots, a felony.” The alleged incidents took places during two different elections, in May and Nov of last year.

Jackson noted that several witnesses claimed to have seen Turner, as Jackson stated in the report. “stuffing filled out ballots in favor of the candidates he was supporting” into a voting machine during the county’s May 2022 Democrat primary election. Jackson mentioned Turner’s participation in the November contest. Advance Local describes it as “Turner”. “accused of mailing an undisclosed number of absentee ballots.”

“Since January 19, 2015, we have worked extraordinarily hard to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat in Alabama,” Merrill . “While the accused is innocent until proven guilty, it is important to know that this incident … will receive the full attention of this office as we confirm for the people for the State of Alabama that we are the gold standard for election administration in the United States.”

Merrill and Jackson did not indicate which particular races Turner has been accused of meddling in nor whether those alleged actions could have affected any election’s outcome.

While Turner’s alleged crimes present a striking example of problems with the integrity of U.S. elections, the story will almost assuredly be ignored by Democrat-friendly nonprofits and corporate media. Over the years, these entities have tirelessly worked to discredit concerns regarding fraud and ballot-harvesting.

For instance, The Washington Post published a 2018 report. Long article Voter fraud is being vilified and lamenting Republican-backed voter identity laws. “extremely rare in recent elections.”

“The real problem with American elections is not voter fraud but abysmally low turnout that ranks the United States near the bottom of peer democracies,” The diatribe is as follows. “The many forms of voter suppression now in place could have an effect on the outcome of the [2018] midterm elections, with many House, Senate and gubernatorial races decided by a handful of votes.”

Left-wing non-profits like The Center for American Progress have waged war on Americans who are concerned about electoral integrity. The group published an article in 2016. Article titled, “Voter Fraud Isn’t Real—But Voter Suppression Is a Grave Danger,” The authors complain about how the “toxic myth of voter fraud is used to justify real voter suppression that costs citizens their voices in democracy.”

While there’s been ample evidence of fraud, irregularities?, and Other rigging in recent elections, there’s also been Historic numbers of votersIt is important to discredit false stories that rampant voter suppression is ruining democracy.
