Reynolds Smith Jr. was a stalwart Democratic voter in stark-red Alabama. But the Alabama Democratic Party overlooked another fact when it appointed Smith to an interim party panel:He died in November at age 83.
Party executive director Jim Spearman told the Press-Register
Tuesday that the mistake was caused by outdated records. He said
the party received Smith’s name from a 2006 list of candidates for
the county committee and then used a voter list to verify him as an
active voter.
The panel was charged with replacing the local party’s executive
committee.
