Some reports of voter suppression in Alabama are trickling in via Twitter. Take, for example, one user’s experience (I’ve just pulled the highlights from the thread — click the bird in the corner of the first tweet to see the whole thing on Twitter, or see my paraphrase below):
She arrived at her polling place to find that, despite actively voting in the past, she’d been marked inactive. Which still allows you to vote, but requires more information, including birth county, which not everyone knows offhand. She’d brought her birth certificate, so she was all set, but if she hadn’t, they weren’t allowing anyone to take out a phone in the polling area, so no googling if you knew the town but not the county or anything.
Other users chimed in with reports of having been marked inactive despite voting in the Dem primary for Jones, and the ACLU of Alabama tweeted that they’re looking into this case.
Any other stories cropping up online that should get signal-boosted up?
