Background

[edit]

Stone v. Allen

[edit]

During the2020 redistricting cycle, Alabama's congressional and state legislative maps faced legal challenges for alleged violations of Section 2 of theVoting Rights Act of 1965. 27% of Alabama's population isAfrican American, but only 8 of Alabama's senate districts, or 23%, were drawn with a black majority. The initial complaint challenged twelve of the senate districts and twenty-one of the state house districts, although the lawsuit was ultimately reduced to four of the senate districts inHuntsville andMontgomery.^[1]^[2]
