Validity Suit Filed On Redistricting Bill
A former congressional candidate, David Vann of Birmingham, filed a motion in U S District Court to review the constitutionality of Alabama's newly enacted congressional redistricting bill. He argues it could be modified to ensure near equal representation and seeks timely certification of candidates under the plan with a provisional modification pending possible changes. The case stems from a previous federal order mandating redistricting.
