Secretary of State John Merrill said his office identified a voter whose appearance on a television news clip on election night sparked concerns of voter fraud.

FOX 10 of Mobile interviewed the man at the Doug Jones election night event in Birmingham right after news broke that Jones was going to win the election over Roy Moore. The station interviewed a number of happy Jones supporters who were waiting for their candidate to come out and speak.

The reporter asked: "Why are you excited to see this victory?"

The response: "Because we came here all the way from different parts of the country as part of our fellowship. And, all of us pitched in together to vote and canvass together, and we got our boy elected!"

Merrill said people contacted his office questioning whether the man was an Alabama resident who could legally vote in the state.

Merrill said his office determined that the man has lived and worked in Alabama for more than a year and is a registered voter in the state.

"We applaud this young man's energy, excitement, and enthusiasm for the electoral process and we are always encouraged when we observe Alabamians who are actively engaged in campaigns and elections in our state," the press release from Merrill's office said.

Merrill's office receives complaints and questions about suspected voter fraud here.
