“The Supreme Court on Tuesday night cleared the way for Alabama to eliminate a majority-Black congressional district …”

“The justices struck down a unanimous ruling by a panel of three federal judges that had found that the map with only one majority-Black district discriminated against Black voters by diluting the power of their votes. The lower court had concluded that there was evidence the map had been drawn intentionally to discriminate, but the justices rejected that finding, writing that the lower court’s analysis had ‘departed’ from the Supreme Court’s recent Voting Rights Act decision.”

In the first major case since the justices narrowed the Voting Rights Act, the court cleared the way for Alabama to use a map preferred by Republicans that eliminates a majority-Black district.
