A federal court has stuck down Alabama’s congressional map, which was designed by Republicans to dilute the power of Black voters. The judges said they were “deeply troubled” that lawmakers had defied a prior court order to draw a map with two majority-Black districts. Two of the judges in the case were appointed by Donald Trump. A court-appointed special master will now draw new congressional districts. Alabama’s attorney general has vowed to appeal the decision.
