Thanks to redrawn congressional districts in southern Alabama, two sitting congressmen will be running against each other in a race that could effectively end one man’s time on Capitol Hill.

In a Super Tuesday contest, voters in Alabama’s new 1st Congressional District will vote to choose whether they support Rep. Jerry Carl (R-Ala.) or Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) in a Republican primary contest.
