By Brittney Knox Staff Reporter

Months ago, anoyone could drive around some Alabama highways and see flashing lights advertising bingo, but now those lights have been dimmed in areas across the state. State Sen. Hank Erwin, a Republican can- didate for lieutenant governor, spoke on cam- pus about the issue Monday. Erwin said he was opposed to gambling — and many times it comes in the form of bingo. “On Tuesday, the Senate will prepare for an ‘Armageddon’ of the Republicans standing for the rule of law versus the Democrats fighting for the people’s right to vote,” Erwin said. Erwin said the game of bingo is not illegal, but when the slot machine is attached to the game it makes it a different case. While the Democrats support a statewide vote, Erwin said he opposes that for two main reasons. “The advertising campaign is designed to manipulate the people because it shows all the people who have lost their jobs,” he said. He said they also have not received a large plea in Montgomery from people saying that they want to vote on the issue.
