I don’t know if the ballots are saved.
The Supreme Court of AL said they did not have to save them, but there is a court hearing for the plaintiffs scheduled for next week.
So even though the case is still in process, the probate judges are not required to save anything.
The case may wind up being moot, as in, OK save the ballots, and sorry they’re gone.
Justice served as usual.
*********
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.
