Need info on a candidate or ballot initiative ? Check Ballotpedia.org
There are five proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot in AL, and some of them struck me as a little obscure. (Of course our state gov't is thoroughly red, so duplicity is expected.) Ballotpedia.org has loads of non-partisan info on all five proposed amendments. Includes lists of supporters (hello, NRA !) and votes of Senators and Representatives; includes links to articles from Government magazine, a publication for those in state and local gov't.
