*Holmes and Moore both said they attempted to vote, but their voting machines jammed and their votes were not registered. Holmes said he voted "yes" and Moore said she voted "no."
I hope everyone in Florence remembers that your reps sat there and did nothing. In other words, they said that the people of the Shoals that they are paid to represent have NO opinion on this matter. I hope you guys in Colbert County remember that Marcel Black from Tuscumbia voted YES. Franklin County residents please remember, Johnny Mack Morrow of Red Bay voted YES.
You can go here: Alabama Legislature and find your representatives. I encourage you to contact them and let them know how you feel about their vote.
