In a statement from Merrill’s office, it was announced that Turner has been indicted for voting multiple times and inserting multiple completed ballots into the tabulator at a polling location in Perry County during the May 24, 2022, primary election.
District Attorney Jackson says he has “…heard the cry from the citizens and the people running for office to clean up the elections in the Black Belt.” Merrill spoke during a news conference relating to the number of voter fraud convictions since he took office in 2015. He says Alabama has had seven convictions of voter fraud and three elections overturned within the last eight years.
“Since January 19, 2015, we have worked extraordinarily hard to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat in Alabama. While the accused is innocent until proven guilty, it is important to know that this incident, just like the other 1,805 incidents we have investigated over the last eight years, will receive the full attention of this office as we confirm for the people for the State of Alabama that we are the gold standard for election administration in the United States.
