2. Weather warnings for Tuesday

• There is a potential risk for severe weather for parts of Alabama starting Monday evening and into Tuesday which could affect voter turnout on Tuesday.
• NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center has placed northwest Alabama under an enhanced risk of severe weather, which means numerous severe storms will be possible.
• Secretary of State John Merrill said on Saturday that polling places will be prepared for the weather but did not give any specific details.
• Studies have shown that rain on Election Day decreases turnout and generally hurts Democrats and benefits Republicans.
• If the weather gets as bad as many forecasts keeps saying though, it may mean a bad turn out for both parties.
• But, there’s also the many headlines that keep boasting about the large voter turnout no matter what the weather is like and voting campaigns seen by both parties may encourage Alabamians to brace the weather.
• Texas is seeing major early voting numbers this year that have surpassed their total voter turn out in the 2014 midterms.
• If Alabama is like any of the other state this year, there will likely be a major turn out, rain or shine.
