Tuberville’s Primary Opponent Challenges His Residency
Ken McFeeters alleges Sen. Tuberville fails to meet Alabama's seven-year residency rule, citing travel and property records to challenge his ballot eligibility.
- On Tuesday, Ken McFeeters filed a formal challenge with the Alabama Republican Party invoking Article V, Section 117 of the Alabama Constitution, requiring seven years' residency before an election, marking the first such challenge against Tommy Tuberville, U.S. Senator.
- Public records, Senate expense reports and PAC filings reveal frequent travel to Florida, ownership of a $4 million Santa Rosa Beach, Florida home, and voter registration showing Tuberville last voted in Florida in 2018.
- McFeeters asked the Alabama Republican Party to require Tuberville to produce clear evidence of continuous Alabama residency, review travel, expense and tax records, and remove him from the ballot if he cannot prove residency or voluntarily withdraw to avoid disputes.
- Senator Tommy Tuberville remains the GOP frontrunner and his campaign spokeswoman Mallory Jaspers called the challenge `What a ridiculous PR stunt from a desperate candidate` while he meets Alabama governorship residency rules.
