Governor Kay Ivey officially announced that the state would hold a special election for a handful of congressional seats, a path paved by the Alabama Legislature last week.

Minutes after the Alabama House of Representatives adjourned for the first day of the recently called special session to address the state’s congressional map, House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter (R-Rainsville) spoke about his expectations moving forward and addressed speculation surrounding the legislature’s actions.

Representatives from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Southern Poverty Law Center and other civil rights organizations across the state converged on the Montgomery State House to protest as lawmakers started the process of potentially redrawing the state’s Congressional map.

A federal court was “speaking out of both sides of its mouth” in its recent Alabama congressional redistricting rulings, according to U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville).

Alabama likely won’t be successful in appealing a recent decision by a panel of federal judges that struck down a congressional map passed by state lawmakers in July, according to Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
