Montgomery, AL – Alabama lawmakers are still working on drawing new legislative districts after the 2010 U.S. Census, but some are already prepared to challenge those maps in court.
Democrats and a Republican lawyer say they're keeping a close eye on the remapping process, which is supposed to redraw districts to reflect population change after each census.
Republican attorney Mark Montiel says he has been disappointed with Republicans' efforts at redrawing congressional and school board districts.
Republicans with supermajorities in both legislative chambers are in control of the process for the first time since Reconstruction.
The districts that lawmakers draw will determine who Alabamians can choose in state legislative races.
