CBS’ Ed O’Keefe Says Alabama’s Redistricting Effort Is ‘Civil Rights Movement’ Versus ‘Republican Power Grab’

‘Down here it’s been the decades-long fight over who ultimately represents mostly black communities’

EXCERPT:

O'KEEFE: “Alabama Republicans, like Attorney General Steve Marshall, want the Supreme Court to reverse previous federal court rulings requiring his state to create two districts with mostly black voters.”
O'KEEFE (on camera): “Is this a Republican power grab?”
MARSHALL: “No, I think what it is, is the legislature in Alabama being able to exercise their authority.”
