The law says one thing but testimony from AL officials is that voters put on "inactive" list are bc of problems w/ voter's address
The Alabama statute (http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/alison/codeofalabama/1975/17-4-9.htm …) requires a person not have voted for 4 years in his or her county. If voters were put on inactive list but have voted more recently that is administrative error (or worse) My experience is there's a lot of administrative errorhttps://twitter.com/srl/status/940653755212627969 …

I think AL law says both. Not voting for a while (like OH): http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/alison/codeofalabama/1975/17-4-9.htm …. Undeliverable postcard (address): http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/alison/codeofalabama/1975/17-4-30.htm …. Both should get regular ballot if voter completes "reidentification" form (on same page as prov. ballot form) at the polls.

In a court filing this summer, state said "for a recent mailing to registered voters at their place of registration, 12% of the mailing was returned as undeliverable."

Yep. For lots of reasons: some moved, some problems w/mail. Everyone still eligible who was sent a mailing after 11/4/14, even if it bounced, should have their vote counted today if they go the polls and fill out the form.

Apparently the SOS sent out mailers for "verification purposes" to some (all?) voters & those who didn't respond to the mailer were marked 'inactive'. It's a deliberate effort to disenfranchise, particularly voters of color & low income, student & disabled voters.

This happened to me. I have not changed address and I have voted in every election at this polling place ( downtown courthouse) yet I came up as “inactive voter”. I had to fill out a form to vote. I called

that is NO error. that is historically dirty southern politics coupled with good ol boy white male privilege (fearful of a fair outcome) at work. I'll opt for your "or worse" option.
