Alabama college, university counties shift toward Democrats in midterms
While Democrats saw gains in every Alabama county last week, shifts in counties holding three of the state’s major universities were notable. In Tuscaloosa County, home of the University of Alabama, Democratic gubernatorial nominee Doug Jones won 54%-45% over Republican gubernatorial nominee Tommy Tuberville, a reversal from 2022, when Republican Gov. Kay Ivey won against Democratic nominee Yolanda Flowers, 62%-34%.
