“… Brooks - one of 10 Republicans seeking the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate - discovered he was listed as “inactive” on voter registration lists when he arrived to cast his ballot in Huntsville this morning.

He wasn’t the only one.

Alabama Rep. Patricia Todd, a Birmingham Democrat, said she was also listed as inactive.

“This is screwed up! The (Secretary of State’s) office said they sent out postcards to every voter, I never got one and neither did my wife. I asked several other folks and they never received one,” Todd wrote on Facebook. “Don’t let them keep you from voting! You can vote even if you are inactive.”

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill confirmed anyone listed on the inactive list can still cast a ballot after they provide updated information.

“Being inactive does not affect an individual’s ability to vote if they update their information which they can do on Election Day,” Merrill said. …”
