He said the new system will allow Alabama to have the cleanest and most accurate voter registration list in the country. Allen said that last year the state legislature ensured that the state will always have paper election ballots. “It was an administrative rule previously, but they passed it into the state law.” Legislators also insured that the vote tabulators the state uses can never be connected to the Internet.
Sen. Arthur Orr and Rep. Mark Shirey sponsored SB 186, which banned the use of ranked choice voting in Alabama elections. Ranked choice voting is a confusing, counterproductive practice that has no place in Alabama elections, Allen said. Rep. Margie Wilcox and Sen. David Sessions brought HB 230, a bill to eliminate the requirement for Alabama businesses to file an annual report with the Secretary of State’s office. This legislation removes an unnecessary burden from the shoulders of Alabama small business owners.
