The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to halt a court-ordered process to redraw Alabama’s congressional map before next year’s election to comply with the Voting Rights Act.
The brief orders Tuesday included no further explanation why the justices declined an Alabama official’s request to intervene now in the yearslong litigation over the state’s congressional map.
An expert appointed by the lower court submitted several proposed maps in the case Monday, all of which would add a second Black-opportunity congressional seat in the state.
