Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Redrawing Alabama Congressional Maps to Increase Representation for Black Voters

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of allowing Alabama to redraw its congressional maps with greater representation for Black voters.

The ruling orders Alabama to redraw its maps with an additional Black majority district or “something quite close to it”, and Secretary of State John Merrill has submitted three proposals to do so.
