Lawsuit Filed to Challenge Alexander

The Shreveport Times reports that Christopher Whittington, a Baton Rouge attorney, has filed a lawsuit that challenges the legality of US Representative Rodney Alexander's recent party switch. The plaintiff, Jeremy Lacombe, says: "'The code is clear that he can't do it. It's just a question of law' that will be reviewed during a hearing at 4 p.m. Friday in Iberville District Court in Plaquemine, the 5th Congressional District courthouse nearest the state Capitol."
