Alabama has a complex history. It was the host of the first Confederate Congress where Jefferson Davis became president of the Confederacy, and the birthplace of the modern Civil Rights Movement. Alabama was once one of the country's most Democratic states but is now one of the most Republican, however there is still considerable competition. The Democratic Party's base is made up of the large Black minority and the well-organized teachers' union and trial lawyers. The Republican's base is made up of white evangelical Protestants, small business owners, and a large group of wealthy young families that tend to live in the suburbs of Alabama's cities.
Alabama has 9 electoral votes.
