Feds Are Helping Register Alabama Prisoners To Vote
SUMMARY
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen has criticized the Federal Bureau of Prisons for deploying a liberal third-party group to register federal prisoners to vote, calling it “illegal.” Allen claims this initiative, linked to President Biden’s “Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting,” aims to mobilize Democrat-leaning voters. He argues it could be unconstitutional in Alabama, where convicted felons and non-citizens are barred from voting. The Bureau of Prisons confirmed it provides general voter information but did not specify partnerships. Allen is pressing for transparency and to ensure only eligible voters are registered, asserting that the federal effort undermines state election laws and fairness.
