Reapportionment Debates Fold in Alabama House Fight

Lawmakers consider several reapportionment plans led by Sen. Douglas Webb and Crawford. Webb would assign Jefferson 10 House seats and Mobile and Montgomery four each, with varied counts for other counties. Crawford’s plan shifts seats, giving Jefferson 17 and Mobile eight, with nine counties receiving fulltime senators in the larger-district scheme. A Perry proposal would peg one House seat per county and elect the rest statewide. A federal court reapportionment could alter districts before November, while the rural bloc pushes to revive the 67-senator bill for a late showdown.
