Alabama Secretary of State on Ballot Access: “We’re Gonna Be Fine”

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill, whose office oversees elections, told TYT Sunday that ballot access in Tuesday’s special Senate election between Roy Moore and Doug Jones should be “fine” and that he has implemented changes to reduce long wait times seen in previous elections.

Merrill has continued to support Moore, a fellow Republican, despite sexual misconduct allegations against Moore that have led many in their party—including Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.)—to withdraw support.

In an interview with TYT, Merrill addressed concerns about Alabamians being able to vote. The state suffers from a number of well-publicized hurdles to voter registration, including voter ID laws and closure of some voter-registration sites disproportionately affecting African American voters.
