Alabama Schedules Special Primary After Map Successfully Completes Obstacle Course

The approved districts were issued tiny lanyards and warned not to wander into Congress.

Gov. Kay Ivey marked the court win by activating Form SD-11, “Map Having Survived Judges,” then ordering a special primary before the ink developed opinions.

At the Capitol, staff escorted the Senate districts past a metal detector in a padded ruler sleeve and stamped each precinct “Alabama-Drawn” like denied luggage.

A briefing memo rated the map “administratively confident” and warned Congress, Trump, Iran, and the New York Times not to stand inside District 7 without permission.

Context

WVUA 23 reported that Gov. Kay Ivey celebrated another court victory in Alabama’s redistricting fight and called a special primary election for the state’s Senate map.
