The US Supreme Court left in force a ruling that requires Alabama to have a second congressional district with a near-majority of Black voters, rejecting the state’s latest bid to reinstate a Republican-drawn map.
The high court order, which came without comment or public dissent, reinforces the justices’ June 8 ruling against the state in the Voting Rights Act clash. The June ruling tossed out an earlier Republican map as discriminatory and upheld a three-judge federal court panel decision that required a second majority-Black district “or something quite close to it.”
The panel said it was “deeply troubled that the state enacted a map that the state readily admits does not provide the remedy we said federal law requires.”
