'No Alabamian ... can look at the court-drawn maps ... and see anything other than the prioritization of race above all else,' the Alabama attorney general said.
Updated:Alabama voters will be “racially gerrymandered” under a court-ordered redistricting map after the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the state’s emergency stay to use a map drawn by the Republican state Legislature in July, state Attorney General Steve Marshall said.
Marshall went on to claim that the new map drawn by lawmakers in July “took out the purported discrimination and applied neutral principles fully and faily,” even though the map did not include a second majority-Black district. The attorney general claimed “left-wing activists” in Alabama and elsewhere are advancing a “racial agenda” that is “brazen and divisive.”
The dispute started in 2021 when the Legislature passed a new map, as it does after every census. Three groups, including Evan Milligan with Alabama Forward, filed separate lawsuits challenging map. The Milligan plaintiffs, who were represented by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and others, issued a statement about the Supreme Court’s denial of the stay.
