Alabama’s Map Battle Heads to Supreme Court
Description
Alabama Republicans are pushing the Supreme Court to approve a new congressional map that would slash majority-Black districts from two to one, hoping to gain a House seat—and arguing it’s legally sound after a recent Louisiana ruling. But federal judges already rejected their map twice, calling it discriminatory and even drawing their own version that favored Democrats. The case hinges on how the Voting Rights Act is interpreted, with Alabama’s AG claiming their plan is politically neutral. Justice Clarence Thomas will first review the emergency request, with the full court likely weighing in. The stakes? A major shift in Black representation—and a pivotal test for voting rights nationwide.
