The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied Alabama’s request to halt a lower court’s order for a special master to redraw the Legislature’s election map after GOP lawmakers failed to add a second majority-Black district.
Without comment, the high court noted the state’s petition to block the lower court’s decision was denied.
The pleading came shortly after a three-judge panel from a federal district court in Alabama ruled a special master must step in and draw a new congressional map since the state Legislature defied the Supreme Court and refused to add a second majority-Black district to its 2023 plan. The high court reasoned that Black voters’ power was illegally diluted when the map split them among several districts and left just one where they were the dominant political force.
The state Legislature, when given another chance at redrawing the map, did not add a second district.
