Politics Counties That Will Decide thr Governor Race??

30 Upvotes

What are the counties in Alabama that will spell trouble for Tuberville? You know how politicians have certain strongholds, and if they under perform in them it could throw the whole election off? NW Corner for South Carolina for example. It's 95% R.

What are these places for Alabama? I imagine the big cities will be trick bags but if they're more blue than purple, it could get interesting. It just seems like Tubs needs to split the Urban vote and the rural/exurbs should carry the way.

I just wanna know what counties to pay attention to in a few weeks. Any good place breaking this down for Alabama?? Would love to read up on it.

Opinion Am I the only one struggling with internet access repeatedly this week?

2 Upvotes

I’m probably just paranoid at this point but it just seems a little too coincidental that as the midterms are approaching, my access to information is the Internet is continually going down.

I work from home so that’s the bigger disruption but just thought I’d ask to see if it’s just me. I live in Trussville with Spectrum but I know my parents in Springville use Verizon home Internet.

Any insights?

UPDATE: Have to say it is pretty funny that this post is getting seriously downvoted but the majority of comments seem to confirm I am not alone in losing access to internet with some regularity. Thank you for feedback everyone!

Advice Mentally Disabled Adult child- Question about waivers

15 Upvotes

My 22 year old has been developmentally disabled, along with autism, her entire life. She currently receives SSI and Medicaid.

For those who have signed up for the Medicaid waivers, how long did it take to be approved? Months? Years? Is it true that the state is making it harder for those who truly need the services not be eligible or get kicked off Medicaid?

Also, CWP counties, day programs are not covered with the waiver? Parents are paying out of pocket?!

I’m so frustrated and have called different agencies with different answers.

Help!!
