YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

As tornado warnings, flash flooding and fire alarms threw the Alabama Statehouse into chaos, lawmakers still pushed ahead with a controversial election vote moments before evacuating the building. The legislation would allow Alabama to hold new special elections if courts revive Republican-backed voting maps previously blocked in major voting rights cases. Democrats blasted the move as an attack on Black voting power, while Republicans argued the state — not federal judges — should control Alabama’s election maps and timelines.
