Poor Quality of Life States--Alabama is in the Top 12

 OXFORD, ALABAMA - MARCH 5: Voters enter a polling location to cast their ballots in the state's primary on March 5, 2024 in Oxford, Alabama. 15 States and one U.S. Territory hold their primary elections on Super Tuesday, awarding more delegates than any other day in the presidential nominating calendar.

Here are all the states with a poor quality of life, according to the report:  

  1. Texas 
  1. Indiana 
  1. Alabama 
  1. Oklahoma 
  1. Arkansas 
  1. Tennessee 
  1. Missouri 
  1. Louisiana 
  1. Kansas 
  1. Arizona 

  2. Alabama is one of only three states that do not allow early voting, according to The Center for Election Innovation and Research (the others are Mississippi and New Hampshire). And this year, the state passed significant new restrictions on absentee voting. 

    Oxfam America ranked the Yellowhammer State dead last for wage policies. The state minimum wage of $7.25 per hour covers less than 20% of the cost of living for a family of four. Alabama is one of only five states with no public accommodation law barring discrimination against non-disabled people.
