A three-judge panel has blocked Alabama’s new congressional map after lawmakers failed to create a second district where Black voters at least came close to comprising a majority, as suggested by the court.
At the same time, it was the supreme court that actually ruled their maps illegal. I could totally see them saying “oh good you raised the effective black population from 30-40% that’s good enough,” but it doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility for them to kick Alabama out again.
