Alabama files emergency appeal to US Supreme Court seeking to implement redistricted congressional map
Alabama officials filed emergency petitions with the US Supreme Court on Friday asking the justices to allow the state to implement a 2023 congressional map with one majority-Black district instead of two, citing the Supreme Court's recent Louisiana decision that weakened Voting Rights Act protections. The same day, Governor Kay Ivey signed legislation authorizing new US House primaries if courts approve the redistricting plan. The move is part of a broader effort by Republican-led Southern states to capitalize on the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais.
