August 2012 Group Watch: AG Defends Redistricting Decision

Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange says the state asked a District of Columbia federal court to approve a redistricting plan for the Alabama Legislature because it is possibly quicker than seeking pre-clearance from the U.S. Justice Department. According to Attorney General Strange, assertions by Democratic legislative leaders that the Republican AG is asking the court to review the plan because he believes it will lead to the election of more Republicans are untrue. Strange said that last year the state filed suit asking the courts to approve Congressional and state school board lines, but the Justice Department went ahead and pre-cleared the districts.
