Bipartisan group of registrars line up to support Chapman over Worley for SOS

How does a person manage to generate the animosity of virtually every voter registrar in the state? Just ask Nancy Worley.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Thirty county voter registrars from both political parties endorsed Republican state auditor Beth Chapman for secretary of state Monday, saying she would return professionalism to the office now held by her opponent, Democrat Nancy Worley. ...

Les Sellers, a Coosa County registrar appointed by the Democratic agriculture commissioner, said Worley inherited a stable, professional staff that had worked well under both Democratic and Republican secretaries of staff, but her administration has been troubled by high turnover.

Because of that, she has been difficult for registrars to contact, and when they do reach her, they often get "misinformation or distortion of information," he said.

Worley said she is not planning any kind of counter news conference with voter registrars who support her. "I'm too busy working to have those kind of things," she said.

The Montgomery Advertiser reports that Sellers "believes that at least 80 percent of the registrars statewide are unhappy with Worley's leadership."

Dan at Between the Links has a few additional links, adding that "We need to get rid of this woman - now!" No doubt.

So, has anyone seen or heard any campaign ads for Worley's opponent, Beth Chapman? This should be a very winnable race for Republicans, but not if no one knows Chapman's name.
