A three-judge panel has blocked Alabama’s new congressional map after lawmakers failed to create a second district where Black voters at least came close to comprising a majority, as suggested by the court.
Federal judges said Tuesday that they will draft new congressional lines for Alabama … A special master will be tapped to draw new districts for the state, the judges said. Alabama is expected to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
So, unless the Supreme Court overturns this ruling, they won’t get that option.
Yup, it’s out of their hands. Plus this map was originally thrown out by SCOTUS, so I doubt they’re going to overturn what is basically their own ruling made a few months ago.
