| Description |
Republican lawyers filed a federal court suit Thursday that seeks to do the same thing a similar suit did in Georgia -- create new legislative districts and switch control of the House and Senate from Democrats to Republicans.
Democrats said they are not concerned about the litigation because Alabama's legislative districts have been approved by the U.S. Justice Department and survived a previous federal court challenge.
"I believe this to be a frivolous lawsuit and an attempt by the Republicans to bypass the ballot box," said Senate Democratic leader Zeb Little of Cullman.
