Alabama to have “Important” role in March Primary Presidential Election

 

With a March first primary, Alabamians will be able to vote on more candidates than years past.

 

“We’ll have a chance to see those candidates before they fall by the wayside. So we’ll see a good many of the candidates . They will spend time here. They will spend money here,” said political analyst Steve Flowers.

 

Some voters are looking forward to it. 

 

“You’re gonna have a good choice of candidates. You’re going to have some that are wasting their money,” said Deborah Ward.

 

Flowers says even though we may not have as many delegates as other states, Alabama will still be important.

 

“We will be important because a candidate may say, ‘well, I’m not going to Texas to finish 7th or 8th and get no exposure. Let me go to Alabama. I might could finish 3rd there,’ because they can become more accentuated,” said Flowers.

 

The so called “SEC” primary will consist of 6 states total including Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

 

Voters say it should be a win-win for both the candidates and the state in general.

 

“We are smart people and anything we could do to make Alabama better, we should do,” said Ward.
