Despite being assured by Democrats that it’s a “myth,” three Alabama women were indicted for allegedly interfering in a municipal election.
While swamp creatures in Washington, D.C. drag their feet over advancing critical election integrity legislation like the SAVE America Act, certain states have taken their own measures to safeguard elections. This includes Alabama, where Secretary of State Wes Allen (R) credited a state bill for playing a part in the indictment of three women for alleged ballot harvesting and unlawful use of absentee ballots.
A press release from Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (R) announced the arrests of Monroe County residents Sarah Bennett, 60; Sharon Denson, 67; and Samantha Kyles, 46, who face a combined total of nearly 40 counts of alleged ballot harvesting and falsifying absentee ballots during the August 2025 election.
While journalist Nick Sortor shared a report from Fox 10 with the caption, “Democrats are LYING to you when they say this isn’t happening,” Libs of TikTok similarly asserted, “But Democrats told me voter fraud was a myth!” as the account highlighted that former Frisco City Mayor Allan Lang had filed suit over the results of the 2025 election after losing his reelection bid by 90 votes. He claimed 131 absentee ballots were unlawful and illegally counted.

The indictment tallied 17 counts of ballot harvesting, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail, and 20 counts of unlawful use of absentee ballots, a Class C felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Passed in 2024, Senate Bill 1 criminalizes paying someone to handle absentee ballots or being paid to do so, in addition to prohibiting unauthorized individuals from delivering ballots for a voter.
Raising the legislation in addressing the indictment, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen (R) told Fox 10, “We’re proud of this particular piece of legislation. We want to make sure we protect elections in the state and we want to make sure that when the people of this state, when they go vote and they go home and they see the returns come in, and they lay their head down at night, that they can depend on elections in our state being accountable and being transparent, and one that they can depend on.”
“I just hope everyone understands that if they want to do … this type of illegal activity in the future, that they’re not going to get away with it,” he had said while also thanking the attorney general, currently running to fill Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R) seat as the senator pursues the governorship, for work that lead to the indictments.
“Today’s news is the latest example of why I fought so hard to pass SB1, the bill that criminalized absentee ballot application harvesting,” said Allen. “Crimes like these are an affront to our elections, our communities and the fabric of our constitutional republic. As we approach the May 19 elections, anyone planning to engage in this illegal activity should consider this a warning. You will not get away with it.”
Court records indicated that Bennet’s bond was set at $54,000, Denson’s at $36,000, and Kyles’ at $21,000.
