US EditionIn a win for Black voters in redistricting case, Alabama to get new congressional lines
- Alabama is set to undergo a significant revamp of its congressional map after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the state's attempt to maintain a plan with a single majority-Black district. This ruling is a victory for Black voters in the state who had challenged the existing racially discriminatory districts.
- The court panel determined that the state's plan, which only had one majority-Black district out of seven, likely violated the U.S. Voting Rights Act. As a result, the new district lines must now include a second district where Black voters make up the majority or come close to it.
- This decision marks a long-awaited win for Black voters and advocacy groups that had filed lawsuits against the Alabama districts. However, the state plans to continue fighting for the restoration of its own district lines.
