Supreme Court Rejects Alabama Bid to Impose Racially Rigged Congressional Map: As the Alabama ACLU noted, the state must now create a second district "where ...

Quick Glance: Proposals for three Alabama district maps to strengthen black voters' rights

A court-appointed special master presented three proposals on Monday to enhance the black voting-age population in a newly configured district in Alabama.

This is the latest development in a closely watched redistricting case with implications for control of the US House of Representatives in the upcoming elections.

Two other plans for the district would result in a black population of 48.7% or 48.5%.

All of these exceed the approximately 40% black population in the second district, which had been rejected by federal judges as improperly diluting black political power in this Deep South state.

Quick Glance: Alabama: No Second District for Black Voters

Increase the percentage of Black voters in the 2nd District from 31% to 40%.

Alabama needs to redraw congressional lines after the Supreme Court ruling in June.

Republicans claim that the proposal meets the court's requirements to create a district where Black voters can influence congressional elections.

Republican lawmakers aim to highlight the issues of compact districts and unified communities in court proceedings.
