Graddick Wins Tight Alabama Gubernatorial Runoff
Attorney General Charlie Graddick claimed a slim victory over Lt. Gov. Baxley in the Alabama Democratic runoff, ordering ballots and related materials secured as fears of a stolen election rose. Baxley refused to concede, while Graddick led 460,451 to 451,284 with 4,194 of 4,230 precincts reporting. Wallace-era politics shaped the race with Baxley mobilizing blacks and labor and Graddick drawing conservatives and Republicans.
