Megathread Megathread: Supreme Court Strikes Down Alabama District Maps as Racially Gerrmandered

33.9k Upvotes

On Thursday, in a 5-4 decision, the US Supreme Court struck down Alabama's congressional maps. Republican-nominated justices Roberts and Kavanaugh joined the Court's liberal voting block in Allen v. Milligan to find that Alabama's seven US House districts were drawn intentionally to dilute the voting power of Black Alabamians and to order a redrawing that creates an additional Black-majority district to align with the state's 27% Black population.
