Several challengers to Alabama’s congressional map on Tuesday urged the Supreme Court not to halt a lower court ruling for an outside expert to propose new maps for the 2024 election.
A brief from the challengers, including Alabama voters and the state NAACP, responded to a request from an Alabama official for the justices to intervene in the case.
A three-judge panel has struck down the latest revised congressional lines drawn by state lawmakers, finding that the map still violated the Voting Rights Act because it has only a single district where Black voters would have the opportunity to elect candidates of their choice.
