Alabama to Void 4 House Primaries, Setting Aug. 11 Revotes Under New Map

Four of Alabama’s seven congressional primaries held Tuesday will be tabulated but not used to pick nominees, with special winner-take-all primaries scheduled for Aug. 11 in the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th districts.
The state won permission to use a different congressional map after a Supreme Court decision weakened the Voting Rights Act, and officials say the redraw could help Republicans reclaim the 2nd District in November.
Litigation still clouds the plan: the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and allied groups are trying to block the new map, and if they succeed, Tuesday’s primary winners would become the nominees instead.
That uncertainty has confused voters, especially in the 2nd District stretching from Mobile through Montgomery to the Georgia border, where some residents said they were prepared to vote twice and feared Black voting strength would be diluted.
