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.
