The Alabama attorney general’s office says it opposes all three congressional maps proposed by a court-appointed special master as federal judges begin drawing new lines to create a second majority-Black district in the state or something close to it.
The Alabama attorney general’s office says it opposes all three congressional maps proposed by a court-appointed special master as federal judges begin drawing new lines to create a second majority-Black district in the state or something close to it.
The three-judge panel had asked the two sides to weigh in on the proposed new districts ahead of a hearing next week. A three-judge panel later found the state illegally diluted the voting strength of Black voters and ordered new districts drawn for the state. The panel is also stepping in to draw the new lines after Republican lawmakers defied their finding that Alabama — which is 27% Black — should have a second-majority Black district or something “close to it.”
Plaintiffs objected to Plan 2 and said it “fails to reliably provide Black voters an opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice.” They said an analysis shows that it would continue to elect candidates backed by white voters.
