Alabama election results: Latest on House primary races
Alabama’s primaries for the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th congressional districts were moved to Aug. 11 after the state allowed for the use of a 2023 congressional map. The Republican-led redistricting effort was determined to have intentionally discriminated against Black voters – but the conservative court’s latest redistricting decision benefits Republican efforts to hold on to a narrow U.S. House majority in the midterm elections.
Alabama’s 3, 4 and 5 districts voted in the state’s May 19 primary.
