The Supreme Court previously upheld an order demanding that Alabama fix maps that diluted Black residents' voting power.
Within its original request for a stay, Alabama officials ironically contended that the court’s demands were racist — that, by creating two districts that bolstered the voting strength of Black voters, such maps would “intentionally segregate Alabamians based on race.”that a “court-drawn map” would create boundaries “that no state could constitutionally enact.”
. “We have twice enjoined a plan that includes only one majority-Black or Black-opportunity district on the ground that it likely dilutes the votes of Black Alabamians in violation of Section Two of the Voting Rights Act.”
