7:02Now PlayingThe Supreme Court, in a surprising 5-4 decision, invalidated Republican-drawn congressional districts in Alabama that were deemed discriminatory against Black voters, reaffirming the importance of the Voting Rights Act and requiring the redrawing of the heavily Republican-favored districts. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report.

"The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down Republican-drawn congressional districts in Alabama that civil rights activists say discriminated against Black voters in a surprise reaffirmation of the landmark Voting Rights Act.
The court in a 5-4 vote ruled against Alabama, meaning the map of the seven congressional districts, which heavily favors Republicans, will now be redrawn. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, both conservatives, joined the court's three liberals in the majority.
In doing so, the court — which has a 6-3 conservative majority — turned away the state’s effort to make it harder to remedy concerns raised by civil rights advocates that the power of Black voters in states like Alabama is being diluted by dividing voters into districts where white voters dominate."
