Alabama football coach Nick Saban always has been a pretty popular write-in vote in that state’s elections — winning four college football national titles will do that — and seems likely to garner a vote or two in Tuesday’s special election for Alabama’s vacant U.S. Senate seat. And just in case you’ve forgotten the process involved in writing in someone’s name, a liberal super PAC called American Bridge 21st Century has released a how-to video.
And, for those Alabama voters whose allegiances skew toward Auburn, the super PAC also made a version involving Tigers Coach Gus Malzahn:
Alas, a write-in vote for either football coach won’t do much beyond take away a vote from one of the established candidates, which obviously is the super PAC’s goal. Last year, the Alabama state legislature passed a law that says write-in votes “are not counted unless the total number of write-in votes is greater than the difference in the number of votes received by the candidate who is in first place and the number of votes received by the candidate in second place,” the Alabama Secretary of State’s office said in a news release last month.
Voters in Alabama are choosing Tuesday between Republican candidate Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones in a closely watched race.
