Loser -- Alabama's voter registration system
Some voters arrived at their polling places on Tuesday and were surprised to learn that they had been placed on an inactive list. Among those who encountered this problem was Brooks, who was, of course, trying to vote for himself.
Voters listed as inactive could still cast ballots, after confirming or updating their registration information, and the scope of the problem was not immediately clear. State Rep. Patricia Todd (D) found herself on an inactive list and encouraged others in the same position to share their stories with her on Facebook.
The issue appears to be that some voters did not receive postcards from the Alabama secretary of state that required responses to confirm their registrations. Todd says that is what happened to her.

This is so ironic ... Republicans have been in the forefront of voter suppression efforts aimed against minority groups. Then it happens to one of their own and it's suddenly not so cute.
