Returns from the Alabama Secretary of State

The Alabama Democratic Party reports that "Uncommitted" received more than 15% of the primary vote in CDs 1, 2, 3, and 4. Hence, "Uncommitted" will received one delegate in each of those CDs. At the State Convention, 6 Kerry delegates and 1 "Uncommitted" unpledged PLEO delegates were elected along with 11 Kerry and 1 "Uncommitted" At-Large delegates.
