ALGOP Chairman Issues Statement on Federal Court Redistricting Ruling

Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl issued the following statement concerning the federal court ruling on Alabama’s Congressional redistricting:


“I am disappointed in the federal court’s decision to overturn the elected representatives of the people of Alabama. It always concerns me when I see an unelected federal court insert itself into a discussion that our Constitution reserved for the legislative branch.


“The basic outlines of Alabama’s congressional districts have remained the same for several decades and have been upheld numerous times.


“I believe the question must be asked, what has changed between now and those past decisions to cause the court to act in this manner?


“I am confident this ruling will be appealed and will watch as it makes its way through the judicial process.


“We are awaiting further guidance from the court on whether this ruling will impact the qualifying deadline for all other elected positions.”
