Alabama Governor Kay Ivey Prepares for Special Session to Redraw Congressional Maps Following Supreme Court Ruling

Governor Kay Ivey's special session starts Monday to address redistricting and possibly schedule special primary elections.
The Supreme Court's recent ruling complicates Alabama's congressional map, which is under a court order until 2030, but Ivey aims to revert to a previous map if courts allow it.
Attorney General Steve Marshall has requested the Supreme Court to vacate the injunctions preventing redistricting, citing the recent ruling's implications.
