Sen. Tommy Tuberville's campaign for Alabama governor was hit with a potential obstacle.
Fellow GOP gubernatorial candidate Ken McFeeters has alleged for months that Tuberville does not meet the constitutional requirement that a candidate for governor must have lived in Alabama for at least seven years prior to being elected. This week, he took his challenge to the senator's candidacy to the courts, reported AL.com.
“I recognize the enthusiasm of the Alabama Republican Party to have a potential candidate of such high name recognition and notoriety,” McFeeters states in the lawsuit. “However, it is incumbent upon the governing Committee to strictly adhere to the parchment, examine the facts and evidence, and protect all Alabamians.”
McFeeters announced at the state Capitol that he had sued the staunch ally of President Donald Trump and the Alabama Republican Party, which earlier this year declined to hear his complaint about the MAGA senator's eligibility.
The lawsuit asks the court tor require proof of residency within seven days and seeks to keep Tuberville’s name off the ballot if he's found to be ineligible under the state Constitution, but the senator's camp brushed off the complaint.
