Redistricting plan leaves Eighth District intact in Alabama
The House Constitution and Elections Committee approved Ben Cherner's plan to redraw districts and keep the Eighth District mostly unchanged. The measure, backed by key House leaders, faces a Senate hurdle with a possible vote Thursday or next Tuesday. The proposal would move Tom Bevill's Seventh to the Sixth and keep Bob Jones's Eighth largely intact, renaming it the Seventh. The federal court is reviewing reapportionment and could alter districts, possibly affecting North Alabama.
