"Alabama's Congressional Map: A Never-Ending Battle for Fair Representation"
TL;DR Summary
Alabama is heading into a court hearing regarding its congressional voting districts after losing a voting rights case at the Supreme Court. The state's Republican-controlled legislature passed a new redistricting plan that only includes one majority-Black district, despite a court order requiring two. Alabama has signaled its intention to appeal any ruling that does not allow it to use a map with only one majority-Black district for the 2024 elections. The state is hoping to sway Justice Brett Kavanaugh's vote, but legal experts are skeptical of Alabama's chances.
