Lawsuit alleges Tommy Tuberville is Florida resident amid Alabama bid

politicsAug 5, 2026231,550

A lawsuit alleges U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville’s primary residence is in Florida and seeks to challenge his qualifications in Alabama’s governor race. Plaintiffs claim Tuberville lives in Florida while campaigning to be Alabama’s governor, arguing that his Florida residency undercuts his eligibility to run. The dispute has become a focal point in social posts criticizing Tuberville’s ties to Florida and his fitness for Alabama office. A recent poll commissioned by the Yes, Every Kid Foundation from July 8 to 11 of 601 likely Alabama voters showed Tuberville leading Democrat Doug Jones 49% to 41%, underscoring that the residency fight could matter for a competitive race. The lawsuit aims to force a legal determination about Tuberville’s residency and could affect whether he remains a qualified candidate on Alabama’s ballot.

Tommy Tuberville says he’s gonna build a 30 foot wall around Alabama, or as I like to call it, Walabama.

Rep. Jack Bergman lives in Louisiana not northern Michigan. Republicans are all lying frauds but it never stops MAGAts voting for them. 🤬

Is it Hawley or another senator from Missouri or Arkansas who actually lives in Virginia? I would look it up, but the question just popped up!

They Say1

Trump-GOP does nothing but lie, criticize, and destroy. They never explain what they intend to do to improve the situation. Trump is no populist. He's a classic "RINO": tax cuts for the rich, deregulation and endless wars in the Middle East, all while distracting MAGA with racism and culture wars.

Just like a PA senator that lives in CT!

If they build a 30-foot wall around Alabama to protect the integrity of its voting, how will Florida resident Tommy Tuberville be able to sneak in to vote illegally?

Florida should cede the backward racist Panhandle to Alabama since it’s Floribama anyway. Good riddance. Might go a long way to improving Florida.

There'll be a rat flap for him.

As someone who has voted in Alabama for fifty years, I was wondering the same thing.

Tommy Tuberville promises as governor of Alabama to build a 30' wall around the state to keep out Yankees... and people with darker skin color. Alabama currently lands in the range of 47-50 among US states in literacy, healthcare, maternal health... bsky.app/profile/atru...

How about this building a 30 foot wall around Tommy Tuberville and calling it a day.

Fata Morgana7

Stupidest man in the Senate is about to become the stupidest Governor in the country.

John Novio5

A wall isn't warranted, a lot of people already avoid going to the state?

if you tried to give Alabama to another country, you’d have to include cash and draft picks and maybe a good blue state.

Hey! Tommy Tupperware. Just build the wall around yourself and do us all a favor. We will pay for it!

But sound like a good idea, to build a wall around Alabama, and don't let liberal money fund the state.

I hope his probation officer in Florida will allow it?

Also becoming a major issue in Alabama, where Doug Jones has called for a moratorium and Tommy Tuberville is embracing data centers; calling concerns about them “bullcrap” and suggesting opponents are being swayed by China. Here’s @annabjournalist.bsky.social on Monday.

It’s just a matter of giving proper time and oversight to communities. #AI Data centers are massive because the computational work is very high. Call Congress 202-224-3121 Use @resist.bot for more emphasis Text ‘sign PCWFHQ’ to 50409 resist.bot/petitions/PC...

Dear Alabama Senator from Florida, Nobody wants to go to the state that is a joke when it comes to poverty levels illiteracy rates, child welfare, life expectancies and bigotry. If you need a wall, it’s to keep people in. www.rawstory.com/tommy-tuberv...

Isn’t there someone named “Markwayne” as well, like his parents couldn’t decide what to name him so they created some kind of compound southern incest monstrosity? And then named him Markwayne?

Approximately 1.2 million people in Alabama receive Social Security benefits. This total accounts for roughly 23% of the state's total population. This is their Senator. Tommy Tuberville. Currently running to become their governor. The treason is obscene.
