YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Monday cleared the way for Alabama to revert to a congressional map with one majority-Black district in a sudden ruling that drew a dissent from the court’s three liberal justices.
Alabama officials had rushed up to the court late Friday asking it to halt a lower court ruling blocking it from using a map it enacted in 2023 that includes only one majority-Black district out of seven. It did so based on the court’s blockbuster decision in late April dealing with Louisiana’s congressional map that severely weakened the scope of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965.
