GOP challenger disputes Sen. Tuberville's Alabama residency for governor run, citing state law.

Senator Tommy Tuberville's eligibility to run for governor of Alabama has been contested by GOP candidate Ken McFeeters, who cited the state constitution's requirement that candidates be continuous residents for seven years. McFeeters challenges Tuberville's residency by citing public records that demonstrate his Florida connections, including a residence and voting history. Tuberville's campaign, which highlighted his 2019 relocation to Alabama and six years in the United States, referred to the challenge as a "ridiculous PR stunt." the Senate. The Alabama Republican Party said it would not address individual challenges and declined to comment on the case. Unresolved eligibility issues, according to officials, could result in post-primary litigation and prevent the party from replacing an ineligible nominee, possibly necessitating a write-in campaign. In a consistently Republican state, Tuberville continues to be the well-funded front-runner.
