Alabama Primary Hangs in Supreme Court's Balance
About this episode
Alabama's congressional primary election faces uncertainty as the U.S. Supreme Court considers a redistricting fight.
Alabamas congressional primary election faces uncertainty as the U.S. Supreme Court considers a redistricting fight. The current court-drawn map stands unless the justices intervene, following a federal courts rejection of Secretary of State Wes Allens emergency stay request. Lawmakers recently passed bills for a special primary if the Supreme Court lifts the injunction. Allen argues a recent Supreme Court ruling in the Louisiana case could reopen the battle. Civil rights lawyers and Attorney General Steve Marshall urge Alabama voters to participate in the May nineteenth primary, while lawyers for the plaintiffs have until Monday to respond to Justice Clarence Thomas. The Supreme Courts decision could still change the primarys course. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
