Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R) on Tuesday said he wasn’t sure if the state redistricting measure would go through, a little over a week after the Supreme Court lifted a block on its new congressional maps set to favor Republicans.

“I’m not so sure it’s going to go through. I haven’t looked at it that much,” Tuberville, who’s running for governor, told reporters.

“It’s all back in the courts and we’ll let them handle it the way they see fit. They’re like the referees at the football game. They’re the ones who are supposed to keep it fair,” he added.

The redrawn map would remove one of Alabama’s two majority-Black districts and revert to a map passed in 2023.

On Tuesday, his communications director, Mallory Jaspers, said Tuberville is “100 percent supportive of redistricting as he believes the new districts will more accurately reflect Alabama’s politics and values,” in an emailed statement to AL.com.

Jaspers did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment explaining how the map would impact Alabama residents ahead of the midterm elections.

Election officials in Alabama will collect votes for four House races on Tuesday, but will not count them due to redistricting.

Voters will need to return for an Aug. 11 special primary election to cast their ballots within the bounds of the new congressional districts at play.

Other races will proceed as normal based on results from Tuesday’s primary.

Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures (Ala.) said the new congressional map, previously struck down by the Supreme Court based on arguments of racial discrimination, “sets the stage for Alabama to go back to the 1950s and 60s in terms of Black political representation in the state.”

Figures added that, “This Supreme Court did not dismiss the case, so the litigation will certainly continue.”

“My hope is that this is a temporary setback and that three Republican-appointed judges will again find what they found the first time: that the State of Alabama intentionally discriminated against Black voters in drawing its congressional district lines,” the Alabama representative continued.
