Voters Face Some Confusion At Polls In Alabama Special Election

Civil rights groups monitoring Tuesday’s special Senate election in Alabama, a high-profile contest between Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones, said voters have contacted them to report a range of difficulties.

The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which ran a voter protection hotline throughout the day, said as of early Tuesday evening the hotline had received about 300 calls. Not all of the calls necessarily involved voting problems, but some clearly did.
