Episode Details

Alabama’s GOP is racing to the Supreme Court to force use of a gerrymandered congressional map that favors Republicans and dilutes Black voting power — despite a lower court ruling finding clear evidence of intentional racial discrimination. With elections looming and a Black Democrat currently holding the seat, Alabama’s leaders argue lawmakers, not judges, should draw maps — while the state seeks a last-minute Supreme Court decision to allow their map for August primaries. This battle is part of a broader Southern strategy to reshape voting districts after the Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act, aiming to preserve GOP control in the House.
