After Districts Redrawn, Alabama Special Congressional Primary Brings Out Voters
[]
The Birmingham Times
WASHINGTON — Voters in four of Alabama’s seven congressional districts selected U.S. House nominees Tuesday under a new map that eliminates one of the state’s two majority-Black districts currently represented by Democrats.
Primaries for all seven congressional districts were originally scheduled for May 19, but Republican Gov.
Kay Ivey postponed the contests for the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th Congressional Districts following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that prompted a handful of Republican-controlled Southern states to throw out their congressional maps.
Alabama’s U.S. House members will continue to serve in their current districts until the end of 2026.
In the 2024 presidential election, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris beat Trump in the current district, 53% to 46%.
