Alabama files emergency appeal to Supreme Court seeking approval of redrawn congressional map with one Black-majority district
Alabama state officials filed an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday asking the justices to allow the state to implement a 2023 congressional map with one majority-Black district, reversing a lower court order that required two such districts. The move followed the Supreme Court's recent Louisiana ruling that weakened Voting Rights Act protections. Alabama lawmakers also approved legislation the same day authorizing new House primaries if courts approve the new map.
