Perry County Commissioner Albert Turner Jr. said the extraordinary turnout was attributable to civic pride by Uniontown voters who wanted to reward incumbent Mayor Jamaal Hunter and council members for securing a significant grant to fix the town's chronic sewer system problems. In a minority populated town, why would anyone even bother to cheat?

In late October 2008 after the Birmingham News reported that Conecuh, Greene, Lowndes, Perry, Washington and Wilcox counties had more people on the voting rolls than they had voting-age adults, Chapman asked for election observers in those counties. In July 2008, Chapman in a news release expressed alarm over the turnout in Perry County.
I will not say the numbers we are seeing from both elections in Perry County are not possible, but I will say that they are highly unlikely, the statement said.

Had to pull this from another article:
Uniontown is a tiny hamlet in southern Perry County in Alabamas Black Belt. Most of its population is black and votes Democratic.

I was a bank examiner for the State of AL for 25 years, but worked mostly in the north part of the state where I live. I made it to Uniontown about 3 times in my career because the examiners in the south often found a way to hand that bank off to our team. Uniontown is the most depressing place I have ever been in my life. This story does not surprise me one bit.
