Alabama Legislature Adjourns; Most Election Law Bills Fail to Pass

The Alabama legislature adjourned for the year on June 7. The only election bill of interest that passed was one moving the presidential primary (but not the primary for other office) from June to February.

Bills to provide for a declaration of write-in candidacy, to apportion electoral votes in proportion to the popular vote, to pass the National Popular Vote Compact, all failed to pass.

The legislature got bad publicity on its last day, when a Republican State Senator punched a Democratic State Senator in the face, on the Senate floor.
