Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall warned voters and officials on Friday that his office will prosecute violations of state election laws. He stated that breaches of the legal code will not be tolerated in any part of the state.
Marshall said his team is currently reviewing tips regarding voter fraud and ballot harvesting. He noted that his office is working directly with the Secretary of State’s office to monitor these allegations closely.
The attorney general’s office announced earlier in October that it is investigating specific claims of fraud in Clarke County. Marshall described fighting election fraud as a top priority for his administration.
Secretary of State Wes Allen has also taken steps to clean up voter rolls this year. His office identified 186 noncitizens who were illegally registered to vote in Alabama.
Among those 186 individuals, 25 had cast votes in previous elections. Allen’s office flagged these cases as unlawful registrations.
Caroleene Dobson, the Republican nominee for Secretary of State, is campaigning on a platform that includes creating a new Election Security Division within the Secretary of State’s Office. She argues this unit is necessary to strengthen oversight.
Marshall said anyone seeking to undermine the integrity of Alabama’s elections should be prepared to face the consequences. His office continues to collect evidence for potential future cases.
