Alabama state House votes to end special elections

The Alabama state House voted Tuesday to end special elections for appointments to U.S. Senate seats.

The bill passed 67-31 on a largely party-line vote, according to the Montgomery Advertiser, despite a filibuster attempt from state House Democrats.

Under current law, if a vacancy occurs in one of Alabama's Senate seats, the governor appoints a temporary replacement and is required to hold a special election to fill the seat for the remainder of the term.

State Rep. Steve Clouse's (R) bill would change the law to require a special election to coincide with the next election cycle, allowing a governor's appointee to serve until the next general election instead of forcing the governor to call an earlier election.

It is a savings of taxpayer money. Of all the things to get worked up about, this ain't one of them.

I could GARA about how Alabama holds their elections. The timing was kind of ironic, though.

This is still not going to stop Alabama cuckservatives from voting for a born again pedophile in a GOP primary. So we have that going for us.
