"Secretary of State John H. Merrill is pleased to announce the formation of the Voter Fraud Reform Task Force...The task force will consist of 15 members, including the Secretary of State serving as the Chairman. (He says)“We believe it is necessary to examine how we define voter fraud in our state and the penalties we assess for voter fraud violations. It is important to note that we assembled a team of respected Alabamians from diverse backgrounds and political persuasions."
So far as I can tell there is very LITTLE voter fraud in Alabama. Absolutely zero? No, but a handful of cases compared to millions of votes. I suggest we watch the work of this group very carefully.
If Merrill wants to encourage legal voting, which he has said he does, he should consider weekend voting and other options that make it easier, not forming task forces to dream up ways to inhibit voting.
