ALABAMA (WALA) - Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill is investigating a concern over potential voter fraud in last Tuesday's special Senate election. It all stems from a brief interview FOX10 News Reporter Kati Weis conducted at the Doug Jones victory party on election night when a young man made a comment that has now gone viral on social media.
The interview took place just minutes after the race had been called. While live on air, in the middle of the crowded party, Kati walked up to a number of jubilant supporters at random, asking them for their reactions to the big win. But, it was this question and answer that has caused controversy:
"Kati: Why are you excited to see this victory? Man: Because, we came here all the way from different parts of the country as part of our fellowship, and all of us pitched in to vote and canvas together, and we got our boy elected!" Merrill said he is trying to find out who the man is, and if he really meant what he said, or if he only misspoke.
"Well, it's very disconcerting when someone who's not from Alabama says that they participated in our election, so now it's incumbent upon us to try to identify this young man, to see what kind of role he played, if it was to simply play a canvassing roll, or if he was part of a process that went out and tried to register voters, or if he himself actually became a registered voter," said Merrill.
Merrill said, so far, there is no concrete evidence that any voter fraud has taken place.
"We don't have any evidence of people doing that, our numbers do not indicate that has happened, but when you have someone actually recorded on television saying that they voted, and that's what he said, then we've got to get to the bottom of that," said Merrill.
The Secretary of State's Office also said voter fraud would be unlikely because every voter is required to show a government photo identification card before casting a vote.
"We have one of the most stringent voting laws in the nation," said Merrill. FOX10 News has also been trying to find out who the man in question is, even reaching out to the Doug Jones campaign for a list of volunteers, but the Jones campaign said it does not have access to the countless groups who volunteered to help canvas and campaign.
Merrill said the Jones campaign has been cooperative with his investigation. It's also important to note, because the race received so much national attention, there were many campaign volunteers who came from all over the country to help get the vote out for Jones.
In fact, some celebrities, who do not live in Alabama, also came to Birmingham last week to speak in support of Jones, including famous basketball player Charles Barkley.
Meanwhile, Merrill said the results of the election will be completely certified sometime in the week after Christmas.
And so it begins!!!
seems reasonable.
I don’t think it’ll amount to much, but the process should play out.
The grassroots reports of voter irregularities are rampant.
Maybe Moore can delay the certification and keep Jones out a la Franken in 2009.
Alabama has churches on top of churches. There must be more churches in Alabama than in any other state and they elect someone who is pro abortion?
I saw one of the Jones voters interviewed who said they “voted for decency”.
Decency??
I’ll go first and take the hits...great!
Too many stats of 90% vote for Jones...Too much saved for the end...
Know this, even if you criticize me, we here at Freep are still friends and allies.
Throw yer rocks
I think there is a good chance that vote fraud took the election but I think the kid just misspoke and meant canvasing from outsiders in Alabama state canvasing with those from the state...
When found, he’ll say he misspoke...on camera from his home in Virginia.
Q; What scares Democrats the most?
A: A Republican investigating voter fraud
There are several avenues to take to overturn the current election results and rightfully hand the victory to Judge Moore.
1. Canvass every vote in select demographics for Jones.
2. Go to court and determine that 88.4% of all the Write-In Votes were either attempts to vote for Judge Moore or voting for Judge Moore was the Original Intent of those who cast Write-In Ballots.
3. Determine the number of Alabama citizens serving overseas in our military and add that number of votes to Judge Moore’s totals.
4. Permit those Republicans that forgot that December 12th was Election Day and permit them to cast Ballots.
That photo ID requirement is only good if it’s enforced by the people running the election at each polling place. Black/Democrat officials have been known to run a very loose ship in Democrat precincts.
No. They bring in people to vote for people who won’t be voting. They go from precinct to precinct. That’s how dead people vote.
A fairly new wrinkle is (D) electronic vote fraud ....at one point Doug Jones somehow got 60,000 votes in a few moments.
IMHO, that was the job the DNC hired the Awans for ....to electronically switch votes to Democrats. That's why the House Dems are keeping quiet.......voter fraud elected them.
Remember she hired the Awans......DNC Debbie Wasserman Schultz electronically switched donations to Bernie to Hillary's campaign account.
=========================================
They do the dirty work BEFORE the voting starts.....BEFORE the machine even gets to the voting place.
The machine is rigged so that ......just as one example...a Republican vote automatically turns into a Democrat vote. Sophisticated computer nerds can rig a machine to do just about anything.
No fingerprints or DNA left behind.
Seems the right thing to do when you consider thee’s been a guy on national television saying he and a number of others have illegally voted in the election. But this is nothing new for the libs.

Voter rolls are public access. You get a list of registered voters, shows if they voted for the last ten elections.
Be interesting to see how many prior non-voters ‘came to life’ for this vote.
