Digital scans of the ballots cast in Alabama's special
election will not be stored after the polls close Tuesday.
That decision came down from the Alabama Supreme Court which
issued a stay Monday, the day prior to the election,
overturning a same-day circuit court decision that had
required the state to preserve all digital voting records
post-election.
Currently, the paper ballots are saved for 22 months after
federal elections and six months after local elections.
