Congressman Aderholt Statement on SCOTUS Stay in Alabama Congressional Map Challenge

Statement

Date: Feb. 7, 2022
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Legislative Branch

Congressman Aderholt released the following statement upon learning the United States Supreme Court will allow Alabama's newly drawn Congressional maps to stay in place for the 2022 election cycle.

"I applaud the Supreme Court for this decision. Making wholesale changes to the Congressional maps this late into the 2022 election cycle would have caused chaos, not just for the state's election officials, but for all Alabama voters.

"I'm confident these lines, which were fairly drawn, will stand for this next decade. It is clear, that the challenge to these lines is part of a coordinated effort across the nation to challenge Republican-drawn lines. At the same time, we are seeing dramatic gerrymandering in Democrat-led states, like New York, to eliminate Republican districts.
