The decision preserves the current map with two strong Black voting districts, frustrating Republicans who hoped to flip a Democratic-held seat — though Alabama’s AG vows to appeal to the Supreme Court. The Democratic representative welcomed the ruling as progress, but warned the fight isn’t over. This case is part of a broader Southern trend following the Supreme Court’s weakening of the Voting Rights Act, as states like Louisiana, South Carolina, and Tennessee also scramble to redraw maps — often to favor GOP candidates. Judges emphasized clear evidence of racial discrimination and noted the old map avoids voter confusion. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
