Montgomery, Ala. (WDNews) — According to Gov. Kay Ivey, Alabama plans to continue fighting ongoing congressional redistricting litigation after federal judges temporarily blocked the state’s 2023 congressional map.
“Alabama’s redistricting battle continues after federal judges temporarily blocked use of our 2023 congressional map. I fully support Attorney General Marshall appealing this unsurprising decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, and I remain hopeful they will allow Alabama to move forward with our August 11 Special Primary Election,” Ivey said.
The ongoing legal dispute centers around Alabama’s congressional districts and whether the current map complies with federal voting rights laws. State leaders have argued the map was properly drawn and should remain in place ahead of upcoming elections.
“I will continue to say: Alabama knows our state, our people and our districts best,” Ivey added.
