Give Alabama Board of Education Member Ella Bell credit. She knows exactly what her constituents want to hear.

Misinformation is all the rage in every election, but rarely is a state’s leading media outlet as guilty as Alabama Media Group is for spreading it.

The reporting on that issue was so bad […]

Voting issues bubble up before the election — not just made up stories like in Alabama — Georgia’s secretary of state, and gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp, is alleging that Georgia’s Democratic Party had launched a “failed attempt to hack the state’s voter registration system.” A spokesperson says they are under investigation for “possible cybercrimes.” — Last […]

The cowardly caretaker junior senator from the great state of Alabama in an ill-fitting suit is at it again.
