Chris England, State Representative and Chair of the Alabama Democratic Party

Montgomery Circuit Court Judge Greg Griffin has put to rest a battle for the power of the Alabama Democratic Party.

The lawsuit, filed by Nancy Worley, claimed that she was still the chair of the Alabama Democratic Party, despite the DNC revoking her credentials and recognizing State Rep. Chris England as the rightful chair of the party.

The Alabama State Supreme Court refused to rule on the matter sending it back to Griffin who dismissed it today by ruling he did not have jurisdiction in the dispute.

Update: Joe Reed has made comments that he is not done fighting and is considering a federal lawsuit, according to Brian Lyman of the Montgomery Advertiser.

UPDATE: Just got off the phone with Joe Reed, vice-chair for minority affairs for the party and an ally of former chair Nancy Worley. He left open the possibility of pursuing a federal lawsuit, saying "it's not over yet." Story is updated. #alpolitics — Brian Lyman (@lyman_brian) February 27, 2020
