From ABC 33-40
The Alabama attorney general's office has served subpoenas for the voting records in Perry County concerning Tuesday's primary election.
Attorney General Troy King said Thursday his office had seized documents concerning applications for absentee ballots, poll lists, ballot accounting sheets, polling place sign-in sheets and other voting records.
Secretary of State Beth Chapman had earlier expressed concern that the west Alabama county received 1,114 absentee ballots in Tuesday's primary. That's in a rural county with 8,361 registered voters. Chapman had also said that a candidate was seen loitering in a polling place and was apparently instructing voters how to vote.
Perry County Sheriff James Hood has said he went to the polling place and found nothing unusual.

I read that article on Tuscaloosa NEws' website yesterday. I applaud the efforts of Secretary of State Beth Chapman and Attorney General Troy King for trying to clean up voter fraud in the state! This is certainly something we didn't see from the fat biatch that held the job before Chapman!
I venture to say the poll watcher was most likely referring to Commissioner Albert Turner, Jr. as being the one who was at the polls instructiing people how to vote. He's the man in power in Perry County. No one wants to suffer his wrath for being the snitch. Guess we'll wait on the investigation to confirm or refute my allegation though.
I wonder what the vote tallies in Hale County looked like this time since Gay Nell Tinker's not in office over there anymore.
You know, it's a crying shame. Black people rose up and fought against the white oppression in the 60's and 70's for their right to vote, only to have it taken away down the road by people of their own color! It's a crying DAMN shame! What would Martin Luther King, Jr. and others who fought an gave their lives during the civil rights movement have to say about this if they were alive today?

Perry Co has one of the most screwed up city governments in the area, probably the U.S. If you want a good laugh go to a Perry Co. Commission meeting, its really not funny its sad more than anything. If it was not for Albert Turner Jr it would not be near as bad.

Looks like my allagations may have just been confirmed. The following excerpt is from an article posted today on Tuscaloosa News' website.
(AG Troy) King said he was concerned about an interview he saw on Montgomery television station WSFA Thursday night, in which Perry County Commissioner Albert Turner Jr., who was running for re-election, said he spent much of election day picking up people and taking them to a Perry County polling place. He said he helped them vote if they needed help, but in the interview, Turner denied doing anything illegal.
Perry County Sheriff James Hood has said he went to the polling place and found nothing unusual.
He found nothing unusual for Perry County?
Doe that mean that he found things that ARE usual for Perry County?
The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, but one must be, wrong. - Abraham Lincoln, 1862
