Supreme Court’s Alabama ruling raises concerns over racial gerrymandering and invites potential litigation

The ruling backed the decision of a three-judge panel in the U.S. Northern District of Alabama. Black voters could not elect their preferred candidate in at least two of Alabama’s seven Congressional districts. The reason for this was the Republican-strong Legislature’s post-2020 Census reapportioned maps, which did not accurately demonstrate the state’s demographics, according to the panel’s findings. In the run-up to the 2024 election, legal professionals fear that the judgment could trigger a deluge of lawsuits evaluating the constitutionality of racial gerrymandering. There is apprehension that many states may face legal action as people and organizations attempt to tackle possible discrimination and bigotry in the redistricting procedure. <a href="https://dradamtabriz.com/supreme-courts-alabama-ruling-raises-concerns-over-racial-gerrymandering-and-invites-potential-192f7719af13">Learn More</a>
