MORGAN COUNTY, Ala. — Morgan County residents brought concerns about the county’s voter records directly to the Morgan County Commission on July 28, presenting findings from a citizen-led review of voter-list data spanning 2020 through 2025.
Brad Richards opened the presentation, telling commissioners that the group’s work was nonpartisan and that its purpose was to share what members had discovered while reviewing Morgan County voter records. Richards said the group believes problems with the voter list are systemic rather than the fault of local registrars and asked county officials for their support in addressing the concerns.
“Our purpose is to shine the light on what we’ve discovered,” Richards told the Commission, adding that the group wants those involved in the election process to bring the voter list into compliance and help restore confidence in elections.
Richards also pointed to previously reported findings involving noncitizens on Alabama’s voter rolls. A January 2026 county breakdown released by the Alabama Secretary of State’s office identified 186 registered noncitizens statewide, 25 of whom had a voting history. The report listed seven in Morgan County, including one with a voting history.
He also cited a Department of Homeland Security document reporting results from states using the federal SAVE system. The document listed Alabama with 33,165 deceased registrants and 465 noncitizens identified through the review.
Richard Graham then presented several records from the 2020 voter list that the group said showed voting histories inconsistent with the voters’ recorded ages. Among the examples he described were records that, based on the group’s calculations, appeared to show votes attributed to individuals who would have been younger than 18 on the corresponding election dates.
The examples included calculated ages of 8.5, 6.8, 15.3 and 10.9 at the time of particular elections. One record produced a calculated age of negative 4.3 for a 1994 election. Such results could indicate erroneous dates, mismatched records or other underlying data problems and would require examination of the source records to determine the cause.
Tara Richards continued with examples from the 2025 voter list. She cited a Hartselle record that the group calculated as showing a vote at age 17.5 and a Falkville record calculated at age 17.1. She also praised Morgan County’s registrars for their work involving deceased voters while arguing that the group’s analysis indicated other problems remained in the data.
Chris Greenstein presented a different type of concern. He told commissioners the group had identified an individual who, according to its research, had been convicted in Morgan County of a felony involving moral turpitude, remained on probation, had been denied a pardon twice and nevertheless remained listed as an active voter. Greenstein further alleged that the individual’s voting history showed more than 10 votes since the sentence began, with the most recent in 2024.
Those claims were presented to the Commission by the citizen researchers and should not, by themselves, be read as an independent determination that an unlawful vote occurred. The underlying court, voter-registration and voting-history records, as well as the individual’s legal eligibility, would need to be examined to establish the circumstances of the case.

After the presentations, Commission Chairman Ray Long thanked the residents for their work, saying it sounded as though they had conducted “a lot of research.” Long also directed their attention to the Morgan County District Attorney’s Office, saying some of the information presented “probably needs to be brought up” there.
The Morgan County presentation reflects a broader citizen-led effort to examine voter-registration records at the county level and bring concerns directly to local officials. Richards emphasized to commissioners that the group’s objective was not partisan.
“Our mission is nonpartisan,” he said. “We are focused on compliance with the National Voter Registration Act and Alabama law.”
