All I needed to know:
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh aligned with the court’s liberals in affirming a lower-court ruling that found a likely violation of the Voting Rights Act in an Alabama congressional map with one majority Black seat out of seven congressional districts in a state where more than one in four residents is Black.
The state now will have to draw a new map for next year’s elections.The vote:
The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a surprising 5-4 ruling in favor of Black voters in a congressional redistricting case from Alabama, with two conservative justices joining liberals in rejecting a Republican-led effort to weaken a landmark voting rights law.
Finally.
Coming, seven congressional districts:
- one for conservative white males
- one for Blacks -- term used by the AP
- one for white feminists
- one for LGBTQ+
- one for "old money" Alabamians
- one for Crimson Tide football players
- one for pets
