VIDEO: Straight-ticket voting dominates elections, AG Marshall sues over Confederate monument, COVID’s new normal and more on Alabama Politics This Week

—

November 29, 2020

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Alabama Democratic Party Executive Committee Member Lisa Handback take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— Is overwhelming straight-ticket voting really a surprise in Alabama with all of the polarization we have seen?

— Was Attorney General Steve Marshall right to sue Madison County for moving their Confederate monument which he alleges was in violation of the Alabama Monument Preservation Act?

— Are spiking cases of the coronavirus the new normal for Alabama and the world until the vaccine is readily available?

Jackson and Handback are joined by Alabama State Senator Cam Ward (R-Alabaster) to discuss his move to become the director of Pardons and Paroles, Attorney General Steve Marshall suing Madison County over their removal of the Confederate monument and more.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” at those on both sides of the mask issue who refuse to understand the reality of the situation.
