Alabama's Racially Biased Redistricting Maps Face Continued Legal Challenges

  • Alabama's original redistricting maps diluted Black voters' power and violated the Voting Rights Act.
  • The Supreme Court ordered Alabama to draw new maps with additional majority-Black districts.
  • Alabama's revised maps still failed to establish sufficient Black-majority districts to the courts' satisfaction.
  • Federal judges denied Alabama's request to pause the ruling amid appeals, seeing little chance of success.
  • The legal dispute continues with Alabama appealing to the Supreme Court again to keep their maps for now.
