The Spin

A federal court — including two Trump-appointed judges — confirmed Alabama's 2023 congressional map was intentionally designed to discriminate against Black voters. Alabama Republicans defied federal court orders, the Constitution and the Voting Rights Act just to hold onto power. This ruling makes clear that racial discrimination in redistricting won't be tolerated, and Black voters in Alabama will not be silenced.

Alabama needs to appeal immediately — Justices Thomas and Alito are ready to end racial gerrymandering nationwide once and for all.
