Alabama. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, joined by Samuel Alito, wrote a majority opinion, with Elena Kagan authoring a dissent. The decision created some confusion over whether the extension for the filing deadline had been overturned as well; Secretary of State John Merrill clarified that the deadline would be left up to the parties. While the Democratic Party confirmed that it would keep its deadline as February 11, the Republican deadline was left unclear. This led to disputes over the eligibility for candidates to qualify for Republican primaries, specifically Jeff Coleman in district 2, and Jamie Aiken in district 6. Republican chairman John Wahl stated that the party would commit to state laws and party bylaws regarding the controversy. Following legal action, the U.S. District Court for Northern Alabama ruled against Coleman on February 25, 2022, establishing that it could not force the Alabama Republican Party to list the candidate's name on the ballot. District 1 The 1st district encompasses Washington, Mobile, Baldwin, Escambia and Monroe counties, including the cities of Mobile, Bay Minette, Foley, and Monroeville. The incumbent is Republican Jerry Carl, who has represented the district since 2021 and was elected with 64.4% of the vote in 2020. No Democratic candidates qualified to run in this district, initially leaving Carl unopposed. However, the Libertarian Party qualified for ballot access in May 2022, presenting a general election challenge to Carl.

The incumbent is Republican Barry Moore, who was elected with 65.2% of the vote in 2020. Businessman and 2020 candidate Jeff Coleman attempted to launch a primary challenge against Moore, and even purchased an advertisement campaign including airtime during Super Bowl LVI in local markets. However, a federal panel ruled against his candidacy, as he qualified after the Supreme Court upheld Alabama's original congressional map and qualifying dates.
