MONTGOMERY, AL - Secretary of State Beth Chapman has
been informed that some sample ballots which may be misleading are being
distributed in the Fifth Congressional District today. The ballots are alleged
to be in the same format and color of the Alabama Democratic Conference ballots
but bear the name “Alabama Democratic Committee.” It has been further alleged
that some of the candidates shown on the sample ballot being handed out are not
the same candidates which have been endorsed by the Alabama Democratic
Conference.
The Alabama Democratic Conference is
a legitimate PAC filed with the Secretary of State’s office. The office has no
records on file for the “Alabama Democratic Committee.”
Anyone who may have questions or
concerns regarding this issue may call the voter hotline at 1-800-274-VOTE.
