This is one of the reddest counties in one of the reddest states in the country.

Alabama’s SOS Wes Allen is apparently aware of the allegations and is looking into the matter.

Allen has been solid on election integrity and hopefully he will make sure that such illegal voting is not allowed.

Baldwin County poll worker blows the whistle on allowing migrants to vote…

Mere days before Alabama citizens go to the polls to vote in the 2024 presidential election, a Baldwin County poll worker is raising concerns about the potential for noncitizens being allowed to participate.

The poll worker, Jesi, contacted 1819 News after reading a report on the potential for noncitizen migrants to vote in U.S. elections and hearing some concerning information during her poll worker training.

Jesi lives in the Fairhope area of Baldwin County and has been a poll worker in primary and general elections since around 2017. Knowing how critical the 2024 election would be, Jesi signed up to be a poll worker on November 5 and attended the required poll worker training on September 30 at the Foley Civic Center. Jesi said that she heard information that had never been given before in her years of poll worker training.

"So, during the class, I had a conversation with one of the instructors beforehand," she told 1819 News. "He said, 'There are two differences: One is that we have new printers, and the other one is your instructions to take a new driver's license — we cut that.'"

"That was it. Everything else was standard process, but these things are worth mentioning. New printers and now we are accepting a foreign national driver's license? That it'll say that in the driver's license? Both me and the poll workers standing beside me were like. What is that?!" Jesi added.

According to Jesi, the other election trainer told the poll trainees, "This is what 'foreign national' means: they're not citizens yet, but they're working on it.'"

"I was like, how are they allowed to vote? She [the election trainer] said they, and I quote, 'They are being certified by the Department of Homeland Security, so they come in, present their driver's license the same way, you scan the barcode on the back like you do everybody else's. Their name pops up, they vote. That's it,'" she recalled.

"I thought, you allow them to vote? Wow…wow. OK, so by her own words, she's saying that they are not citizens, but they're working on it. So, they're still not a citizen," she added. "That's unconstitutional."

1819 News contacted the Secretary of State's office regarding this change in the standard training procedure.

Secretary of State Wes Allen's office replied, "Both federal and state law are very clear that noncitizens are not allowed to vote in our elections — period. Because my efforts to ensure noncitizens are not voting in our elections are currently being litigated in federal court, I am limited in my ability to comment further."

1819 News reached out to Alabama GOP chairman John Wahl for comment, and he replied, "It is illegal under federal law for any foreign national to vote in U.S. elections, and they should never be allowed to do so, period. The security of our elections is incredibly important, and only U.S. citizens should be deciding who is representing our country."

Wahl also spoke to the concerns of anyone training poll workers to allow this fraud to occur.

"Election officials, including poll workers, should not be encouraged to allow foreign nationals to vote," he continued. "Even if someone is unlawfully registered to vote, it does not mean they should be given a ballot on Election Day. The Constitution and rule of law are very clear on this matter. The right to vote is one of the most important and fundamental rights we have as Americans. Every U.S. citizen's voice at the ballot box must be protected, and part of that is ensuring this constitutional right is not watered down by illegal votes cast by noncitizens."

Wahl encouraged any poll worker with concerns should contact Secretary of State Allen's hotline at (800) 274-8683. Poll watchers with concerns should contact the Alabama Republican Party at (205) 212-5900.

At Jesi's request, 1819 News forwarded her report and contact information to the Republican National Committee's election integrity arm.
