Montgomery, Ala. (WDNews) — According to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, the state plans to immediately appeal a federal court ruling involving the congressional redistricting case Allen v. Milligan.
Marshall released a statement following the latest decision from a three-judge panel.
“I am disappointed, but not at all surprised, that the three-judge panel has again struck down Alabama’s blandly unobjectionable congressional map that has been in place for decades. I find nothing in the U.S. Supreme Court’s vacatur order of May 11 that would provide a basis for this outcome; thus, we will immediately appeal this decision to the Supreme Court.”
Marshall also said the situation remains ongoing and pledged to continue updating the public.
“This is a very fluid situation, and I will do my best to keep the People of Alabama apprised of our efforts. Know this — in my mind, it is not a matter of whether we win this case, only when.”
