Court blocks ‘tainted’ GOP-drawn Alabama congressional map

WASHINGTON — A federal court Tuesday blocked Republicans’ new congressional map in Alabama that was intended to give them a key seat pick-up opportunity. The GOP is expected to appeal the ruling to the US Supreme Court. The three-judge lower panel ruled that the top court’s related recent decision on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act doesn’t change their conclusion that the map illegally discriminates against black voters.
