US EditionSpecial master in Alabama redistricting case proposes three House maps in a closely watched voting rights fight
- A court-appointed special master has proposed three plans to increase the Black voting-age population in a reconfigured Alabama congressional district.
- One of the proposed maps would create a second congressional district in southeastern Alabama with a 50.1% Black voting-age population, offering Democrats an opportunity to gain another House seat in the 2024 elections.
- Alabama officials are contesting the court's decision, claiming they have followed traditional redistricting practices and cannot prioritize race when drawing congressional maps. The outcome of this battle could impact the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives.
