Alabama official said votes in next week's primary won't count in 4 districts

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen said next Tuesday’s primary will happen as scheduled, but votes in congressional races in four districts will be voided after a special primary in August.

Allen held a news conference at the Capitol and said he wanted voters to understand what was happening with the election after a legislative special session, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, and Gov. Kay Ivey’s call for the special election on Aug. 11.
