Court rules Alabama redistricting intentionally discriminates against Black voters
"A panel of three federal judges says the Alabama Legislature intentionally drew its congressional district map to dilute Black voting strength, which is unconstitutional and violates the Voting Rights Act.
The judges also said the state can't use the map in future elections.
The 571-page ruling issued Thursday comes in a lawsuit, Allen v. Milligan, that made it to the U.S. Supreme Court. The court agreed then that Alabama's 2021 congressional map discriminated against Black voters, in a state where African-Americans make up about a quarter of the population."
