Alabama asks US Supreme Court again to intervene in redistricting case

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:31:19 GMT

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama on Monday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to let it keep Republican-drawn congressional lines in place as the state continues to fight a court order to create a second district where Black voters constitute a majority or close to it. Despite losing at the Supreme Court earlier this year in the long-running redistricting case, Alabama is pursuing another appeal, hoping for a different result with the most recent GOP version of the map.

The judges, in their ruling, said Alabama lawmakers deliberately defied their directive to create a second majority-Black district or something close to it. The Alabama attorney general’s office asked justices to put the order on hold while the state appeals “so that millions of Alaba...
