Rightly_dividing, your link says the following: “Jefferson County Circuit Judge Helen Shores Lee has scheduled a hearing Monday on a request by state Democratic Party Chairman Mark Kennedy to dismiss the lawsuit. Kennedy wants a quick ruling to repare for Alabama’s March 13 presidential preference primary.”
This is not the same as saying that Alabama will hear the case. This says that Alabama will rule on whether the case should be dismissed.
Why the discrepancy? Does anyone know?
It looks to me like Judge Lee got off her knees and catered to her bosses and scheduled the hearing.
We will see what happens but I am not holding my breath.
