The Alabama Senate failed to get the required 21 votes to approve a measure to expand gambling and establish a lottery in the state. The vote was 19-13. Governor Ivey issued a statement after the vote saying that vote count confirms more work needs to be done and the issue is too important to not get it right. The governor said that despite the complexity and challenge of gambling, she remains committed to giving the people of Alabama the final say.
