Alabama Bars Its Voters from Voting in Other States in Same Election


Kyle Morris 17 May 2021

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) has signed into law legislation that makes it a crime to vote in Alabama and at least one other state in the same election.

State Rep. Chris Blackshear (R-Phenix City) sponsored the bill, HB 167, while Senate Majority Leader Clay Scofield (R-Guntersville) carried it in the upper chamber, Alabama’s Yellowhammer News reported.

While the bill prevents an individual from voting more than once in the same election, Alabama state Rep. Berry Forte (D) claimed the bill “is nothing but voter suppression” which targets African-American communities. Elected Republicans in the Alabama have maintained that the bill ensures “one person, one vote.”

Ivey met with Blackshear and signed the legislation Monday morning, saying in a tweet that the bill is “aimed to address voter fraud.”

States that already bar voters from voting in other States:

Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oregon, South Dakota, Virginia, and Washington

Seven of those went for Biden in 2020.
