Summary
Alabama’s 2026 Democratic primary saw a historic surge—nearly 200,000 more voters than in 2022—with turnout skyrocketing across nearly every county, especially in the Black Belt and blue cities. In key areas like Jefferson and Shelby Counties, Democratic votes jumped by nearly 90% and over 300%, respectively, while Republican turnout plummeted in 60 of 67 counties. This marks a dramatic reversal from 2022, with Democrats dominating even traditionally GOP strongholds like Mobile County. The shift signals a deepening engagement with the Democratic Party across the state, despite its overall Republican lean. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
