Today, the Alabama Republican Party announced its support of legislation that would allow Joe Biden to remain on the ballot in Alabama, despite the Biden campaign’s failure to meet the state’s election deadline. The Biden campaign’s mistakes and failures should not punish voters in the state.
Statement from Chairman John Wahl:
“It is essential to uphold the integrity of our electoral system and respect the rights of voters to choose their preferred candidates in the general election. Unlike the divisive tactics employed by the Democratic Party to keep Donald Trump off the ballot, the Alabama Republican Party firmly believes in upholding the principles of democratic elections and ensuring that voters have the final say.
“We reject the attempts of the Democrat Party to obstruct the electoral process and deprive voters of their right to make an informed decision at the ballot box. Let’s be clear, it is the Democrat Party that invokes the power of government to target their political opponents, not the Republican Party. In stark contrast, Republicans believe in standing for fairness and integrity, and we remain committed to protecting voters and defending their right to choose their representatives freely, without interference or manipulation.
“The Alabama Republican Party is not intimidated by competition, and we embrace the opportunity to engage the Biden campaign on the issues that matter most to Alabama voters. The Republican Party stands for individual liberty, securing the border, protecting our children from socialist indoctrination, and providing economic opportunities for all citizens. We firmly believe that the values and principles of the Republican Party, as well as our nominee best represent the people of Alabama, and we are confident that Donald Trump will defeat Joe Biden this November.”
