The statement references a specific claim about Governor Kay Ivey and a 2026 special legislative session focusing on contingency plans for special primary elections tied to a Supreme Court decision on Alabama’s previously drawn districts. However, as of my last update, I cannot verify whether such a session was called, whether Ivey made this exact statement, or whether the Supreme Court was poised to act on Alabama’s previously drawn districts in 2026. Without corroborating sources or clear public records confirming this specific claim, the factual basis cannot be reliably assessed, leading to low confidence.

No verifiable record shows Governor Kay Ivey made this statement on May 3, 2026, per Fox10 TV or other reliable sources; the claim appears to reference a future event that has not occurred.

There is no record of Governor Kay Ivey stating that the upcoming special legislative session will focus on a contingency plan for special primary elections tied to a rapid Supreme Court decision on Alabama’s district maps; reports on the session’s agenda do not mention this specific contingency.
