Supreme Court rules domicile dictates where vote cast
Alabama high court affirms that a voter may not cast a ballot outside their legal domicile ward. The decision stems from a Mobile contest where Charlies H. Bullen refused to name his chosen candidate after his vote was ruled illegal, leading to contempt jail time. The ruling emphasizes the constitutional requirement of one domicile and outlines that mere residence without intent to remain does not confer voting rights in another ward.
