Alabama faces new tests of power, parties and accountability

The court weighs enforcement, Democrats choose new leadership, Republicans target open primaries and a redrawn district reshapes November’s congressional battle.

This week on “The Voice of Alabama Politics,” the Alabama Supreme Court confronts a threshold question in Tommy Tuberville’s residency case: Can any court enforce the Constitution’s seven-year requirement before voters cast their ballots?

Bill Britt, Susan Britt and Josh Moon examine Bobby Singleton’s landslide victory as Democratic Party chairman, the Republican push to close Alabama’s primaries, and the high-stakes congressional race between Rhett Marques and Shomari Figures.

They also look at how Alabama’s largest cities are rethinking mental-health crisis response.
