Wahl’s Ballot Challenge Over Residency | Huntsville News

A fierce legal battle is unfolding in Alabama over Lieutenant Governor candidate John Wahl’s eligibility, with three citizens suing to remove him from the ballot. They argue he failed to meet the state’s seven-year residency requirement by maintaining a Tennessee driver’s license and voting registration within the last six years—while his current Alabama license allegedly was issued after claiming residency. The suit targets Secretary of State Wes Allen and seeks an immediate court ruling, timed to potentially capitalize on pending Supreme Court decisions affecting similar cases like Senator Tommy Tuberville’s. Wahl’s opponent accuses him of believing he’s above the rules, while Wahl’s team has ten days to respond—highlighting how residency disputes are intensifying scrutiny in Alabama’s high-stakes elections.
