A Democratic Party candidate is being charged with a bevy of felony counts, all related to alleged voter fraud.
Terry Andrew Heflin, the 45-year old candidate for a commission seat in Clay County, Alabama, was arrested Tuesday on seven counts of unlawful use of absentee ballots, according to a news release from the Alabama Attorney General's office.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall announced the arrest the day after Heflin turned himself in to authorities.
The release from Marshall's office gave few details about the circumstances surrounding the alleged voter fraud.

"The case is being prosecuted by the Attorney General's Special Prosecutions Division," the release continued.
Heflin's primary race was tight, with Decision Desk HQ reporting that his runoff victory came with a razor-thin margin of 43 votes.
The seven fraudulent votes he's accused of casting for himself do not account for the entire margin, but the state's investigation may see additional charges being brought against Heflin or others.
