Alabama congressional district primary results | #elections | #alabama

AFTERNOON. A SUPER TUESDAY VOTING. WELL UNDERWAY. POLLS ARE CLOSING IN ALABAMA IN JUST ABOUT UNDER THREE HOURS, SO 15 STATES UP FOR GRABS TODAY. NATIONWIDE, THE STORY IS THE GOP RACE BETWEEN NIKKI HALEY AND DONALD TRUMP AND HERE AT HOME, THAT STORYLINE VERY MUCH THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL MAP IN OUR STATE. IT BROUGHT OUT THREE BIG CHANGES. THE FIRST ONE OF THOSE, IT ONLY IMPACTS ONE AREA OF OURS SIGNIFICANTLY. DISTRICT SEVEN CHANGES JUST A BIT, EXPANDING INTO HOMEWOOD RIGHT NOW, THE DISTRICTS REPRESENTED BY CONGRESSWOMAN TERRI SEWELL, SHE’S FACING A CHALLENGE FROM CHRIS DAVIS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. THE WINNER IN NOVEMBER TAKES ON CHRISTIAN HORNE OR ROBIN LYDECKER IN THE FALL. THE SECOND CHANGE THE NEW MAP BRINGS IS THE BATTLE IN DISTRICT ONE. THE WHOLE POINT OF REDRAWING THE LINES WAS TO CREATE A SECOND MAJORITY BLACK DISTRICT, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, BARRY MOORE LOSES HIS SEAT. NOW HE’S CHALLENGING DISTRICT ONE INCUMBENT JERRY RICK KARLE IN THE GOP PRIMARY. BOTH ARE CAMPAIGNING AS CONSERVATIVES WHO BACK FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. SO WITH MOORE’S DEPARTURE, IT SIGNALS THE ARRIVAL OF A NEW REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS. AND AS WE MENTIONED, WHOMEVER WINS WILL REPRESENT A MAJORITY BLACK DISTRICT. SO THE RACE IN DISTRICT TWO IS CROWDED, TO SAY THE LEAST. THERE ARE EIGHT REPUBLICANS ON THE BALLOT. THERE ARE 11 PEOPLE RUNNING FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION. ONE OF THE FAMILIAR NAMES IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IS JUANDALYNN GIVAN AND WVTM. 13 LISA CRANE IS LIVE AT HER HEADQUARTERS IN THE CAPITAL CITY THIS AFTERNOON. LISA. YEAH, GUYS. WADLEY GIVEN AND HER SUPPORTERS ARE EXPECTED HERE AT THE DOUBLETREE HILTON IN MONTGOMERY TO WATCH THOSE RESULTS ROLL IN TONIGHT. NOW RIGHT NOW GIVEN HOLDS THE ALABAMA DISTRICT 60 HOUSE SEAT. AND THAT’S THE SEAT SHE’S HELD SINCE 2010. AND SHE IS IN THAT TIME. HER TUM RUNS FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS NOW. THE 53 YEAR OLD IS ALSO AN ATTORNEY IN THE BIRMINGHAM AREA. SHE WAS ONE OF THE LAST OF THE 11 DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES TO QUALIFY FOR THIS RACE. SHE HAS TALKED TOUGH SINCE THEN TO SAYING SHE IS NOT HERE TO PLAY AND SHE IS NOT TRYING TO PLAY POLITICS. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER GAVIN WORKED TO REPEAL ALABAMA MEMORIAL PRESERVATION BILL AND MORE RECENTLY SHE’S BEEN OUTSPOKEN IN HER SUPPORT OF BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHERN COLLEGE AS IT FIGHTS TO STAY OPEN. NOW, GAVIN HAS NOT MADE AN APPEARANCE HERE TONIGHT, BUT WE’RE KEEPING OUR EYES OPEN AND WE WILL KEEP YOU P
