Court blocks Alabama’s new voting map over intentional discrimination
TL;DR Summary
A three-judge federal panel blocked Alabama from using its 2023 congressional map, finding it was enacted with discriminatory intent against Black voters and requiring a map with two Black‑majority districts; the ruling tests the Voting Rights Act limits after the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision and could prompt an appeal.
