Alabama Attorney General Announces Arrests

Attorney General Steve Marshall announced the arrests of Jacqulyn Boone, 51, former mayor of Fort Deposit, and Steven Thigpen, 49, a city council candidate. Both face charges of unlawful use of absentee ballots, a Class C felony under Alabama law.

Fraud Uncovered After Election Results Declared

The pair were initially declared winners in the August 2025 election. However, voting irregularities were discovered, leading to the results being thrown out and a special election held in January 2026. The scheme reportedly involved improper use of absentee ballots to influence the outcome.

Penalties Include Significant Prison Time

Under Alabama law, the charges carry penalties of one year and one day to 10 years in prison. The Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Division is handling the case, with additional details limited due to the ongoing investigation.

Trump’s Warnings on Election Integrity Proven Right Again

For years, President Donald Trump has warned about vulnerabilities in absentee ballot systems and the need for stronger safeguards. Cases like this in Lowndes County, Alabama, validate those concerns and demonstrate why election security must remain a top priority.

SAVE America Act Would Help Prevent Future Fraud

President Trump’s SAVE America Act would implement critical protections, including proof of citizenship requirements and stronger ID rules. These common-sense measures would help ensure only eligible American citizens participate in elections and reduce opportunities for abuse.

Democrats Can No Longer Deny the Problem

While some Democrats have long dismissed voter fraud concerns, repeated incidents across the country make it increasingly difficult to ignore. Strong prosecution of cases like this sends an important message that election laws must be respected and enforced.

Protecting the Integrity of American Elections

Every legal voter deserves confidence that their vote counts. President Trump’s leadership on this issue continues to push for reforms that secure our elections, maintain public trust, and ensure the will of the American people is accurately reflected at the ballot box.

This Alabama case serves as another reminder of why vigilance and strong election integrity laws are essential. Under President Trump’s America First agenda, protecting the sanctity of our democratic process remains a fundamental priority for all Americans.
