SUMMARY: redrawing the boundaries of the current districts. The court's decision came after Alabama's second attempt to avoid creating another majority black congressional district was struck down. The Supreme Court had previously ordered the creation of a second majority black district, but Alabama failed to comply. The federal court criticized Alabama's actions in the case, stating that the state enacted a map that did not meet federal law requirements. The judges, two of whom were appointed by former president Donald Trump, noted that white voters currently hold the majority in six out of seven congressional districts, despite 27% of the state's population being black. The judges have ordered a special master to submit three proposed maps that would rectify this issue.
