The case is based on Alabama’s Congressional district maps that had been ruled unconstitutional because of gerrymandering.
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - Midterm elections are days away but when it comes to future elections a looming Supreme Court decision could have some effect on them. Merrill v. Milligan would be the second Alabama case decision impacting voting procedures, the first being Shelby v. Holder, in 2013.
Merrill v. Milligan is based on Alabama’s Congressional district maps that had been ruled unconstitutional because of gerrymandering. JaTaune Gilchrist with the Alabama ACLU says Alabamians should be invested in the result of that case because it could have a negative impact on the country. April Fortune, an active voter in Madison County, says she was redirected from her usual polling place for an election, forcing her to commute further to cast her ballot.
In response to that Madison County Probate Judge Frank Barger says there was no foul play involved. He says the election she participated in was a municipal election, not a county election. Those elections can take place in alternative polling locations.
