Alabama’s New Congressional Map Drama!
🗺️ A federal court has instructed Alabama to roll out a revised congressional district map featuring a second district where Black voters have a significant chance of electing their preferred representatives.
🎉 This move is seen as a victory for Democrats, who might clinch the seat in upcoming elections.
📊 Although over a quarter of Alabama’s population is Black, state GOP leaders had designed maps where only one of the seven congressional districts had a Black majority. This, despite previous rulings by both federal and the U.S. Supreme Court.
🎨 Last September, after rejecting the state’s one Black district map, the court appointed an expert to sketch out potential boundary options.
👉 The final pick? “Remedial Plan 3,” which aligns with legal standards and seems to be the most acceptable choice, covering Alabama’s 2nd and 7th congressional districts. Stay tuned to see how the political landscape evolves!
