Announces Ballot Security Initiative
Birmingham
- The
Alabama Republican Party has initiated an aggressive 2008 Ballot
Security
Program. Every county in Alabama is being covered by an attorney, and
representatives of the Alabama GOP are checking absentee ballot counts
and
registration rolls several times a week. In addition, poll watchers
stand ready
across the state to ensure the honesty and integrity of this year’s
election.
The large number of people working daily to guarantee the citizens of
Alabama
are safely protected against voter fraud is unparalleled, and the
Alabama
Republican Party encourages voters to stay vigilant and to please
contact the Party,
via the numbers below, should they witness any suspicious activity.
The
Alabama GOP has set up two toll-free hotline numbers, in
which citizens may call at anytime to express voter fraud concerns and
happenings. These two numbers are:
1-866-675-2772
and 1-866-675-5803
Rep.
Mike Hubbard (R-Auburn), Chairman of the Alabama
Republican Party stated:
“It
is imperative that we protect the legitimacy of our
elections, and it is our hope that these ballot security initiatives
will
assist in deterring the abuse of our electoral system. We encourage any
Alabama
resident who
witnesses instances of voter fraud, or feels that they have been
subjected to
unusual circumstances with regard to the normal voting process, to
please call
our toll free numbers and report this activity so that we may alert the
appropriate agency.”
