Alabama defies Supreme Court order to redraw 'racially gerrymandered' congressional map, sparking new legal battle

• The Supreme Court ruled Alabama's previous congressional map violated the Voting Rights Act by having only one majority-Black district.
• Alabama Republicans drew a new map that still lacked a second Black-majority district, defying the court's mandate.
• Civil rights groups have renewed legal challenges, arguing the new map dilutes Black voting power.
• The outcome could impact whether Republicans keep their narrow House majority after 2024.
• Some fear the now conservative-majority Supreme Court may uphold Alabama's map if it reaches them again.
