The Supreme Court allowed a congressional map drawn by Alabama Republicans to remain in place, freezing a lower court ruling

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision yesterday, allowed a congressional map drawn by Alabama Republicans to remain in place, freezing a lower court ruling that said the map likely violates the Voting Rights Act by diluting the political power of Black voters.

The Supreme Court on Monday put on hold a lower court ruling that Alabama must draw new congressional districts before the 2022 elections, boosting Republican chances to hold six of the state’s seven seats in the House of Representatives.

DAK Not anymore. My great country has fallen into rune because of conservative reverse thinking. They want the good old days, while the world marches forward into the future. We are now number one in nothing of any significance. I weep over what we have become.
