The Alabama Supreme Court on Friday permitted the Alabama the Judicial Resources Allocation Commission (JRAC) to reallocate a Jefferson County judge seat to Madison County. The court dismissed a complaint filed on behalf of Tiara Young Hudson by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama (ACLU-AL) in which they alleged the seat Hudson won last May on Jefferson County's 10th Judicial Circuit had been unconstitutionally reallocated to Madison County. As a result of the Alabama Supreme Court's dismissal Hudson will lose her seat to Madison County District Judge Patrick Tuten who was appointed by Gov.
