Alabama: sources, checks and caveats

File: AL.csv, 67 counties. d/r/o = Democratic / Republican / other U.S. House votes (o includes Libertarian, Independent and write-ins; excludes over/under votes), summed across all congressional districts in the county.

Sources

• 2022 (official): Alabama SOS election data page (https://www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/voter/election-data), file "2022 General Precinct Level Results": https://www.sos.alabama.gov/sites/default/files/election-data/2022-11/2022%20General%20Precinct%20Level%20Results.zip
• It contains 67 county .xls files dated Nov 22, 2022.
• Each file has one column per precinct, plus ABSENTEE and PROVISIONAL columns; there is no total column.
• Precinct, absentee and provisional columns were summed per county.
• The final canvass PDF (certified 11-28-2022) is on the same page.
• 2026 (unofficial): Alabama SOS election night results, https://www2.alabamavotes.gov/electionNight/statewideResultsByContest.aspx?ecode=1001305 → "Export Data" (sosEnrExport.xlsx, sheet AllResults, one row per county × contest × candidate). Downloaded 2026-11-10 02:09 UTC.

2026 as-of

• The site shows "Last Updated: 11/04/2026 11:16:06 AM" (Central), with 67 of 67 counties and 2,001 of 2,001 precincts reported.
• Results have not changed since then. They are unofficial and await the state canvass, including provisional ballots.

Validation

All D and R totals match exactly. The 2026 other votes (1,828) are all write-ins.

Districts with no D or no R candidate

• 2022:
• CD1 had no Democrat (Carl R, Remrey L, write-in). Its counties' D votes are 0.
• CD6 had no Democrat (Palmer R, Chieffo L, write-in). Its counties' D votes are 0.
• Every district had a Republican.
• Counties wholly in CD1/CD6 have d22 = 0: Baldwin, Bibb, Blount, Mobile, Monroe, Shelby, Washington. Split counties Chilton and Escambia have reduced d22.
• 2026: none. All 7 districts had both a D and an R.

Caveats

• The congressional map changed between 2022 and 2026.
• 2022 used the 2021 legislative plan. That plan was later found to violate the Voting Rights Act in Allen v. Milligan (2023). 2024 then used a court-ordered remedial plan.
• The 2026 general election used yet another configuration, as the observed county-to-district assignments show. For example:
  • 2026 CD2 covers the Wiregrass and Montgomery: Barbour, Bullock, Butler, Coffee, part of Covington, Crenshaw, Dale, part of Elmore, Geneva, Henry, Houston, Lowndes, Macon, Montgomery, Pike, Russell.
  • 2026 CD7 includes Choctaw, Clarke, Conecuh, Monroe and Washington.
• The SOS also posted 2026-09 "Results From The Special Congressional Election" (Republican special primaries in CD1, CD2, CD6, CD7) under the new lines. The legal history of the 2026 map was not verified here; check it before publishing a description.
• Counties split between districts:
  • 2022: Chilton, Escambia, Jefferson, Lauderdale, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa.
  • 2026: Covington, Elmore, Jefferson, Lauderdale, Talladega, Tuscaloosa.
• Because district lines and candidates differ, county-level 2022→2026 swings are not purely voter shifts.
• The 2022 absence of Democratic candidates in CD1 and CD6 depresses d22 (and inflates o22 via Libertarians) in those counties. Interpret 2022→2026 D changes there with care.
• 2026 is unofficial.
