The redrawing of these maps is almost certain to sharply reduce the number of #Black Americans serving in the US #House & could critically diminish the ability of Black voters & millions of other Americans to elect candidates of their choice. At the same time, they will become less able to hold the elected ofcls who come to represent them accountable. #Redistricting has already happened in Tennessee, Louisiana & Alabama. Lawmakers plan to redistrict in Georgia & Mississippi for future elections.

Over the course of several months, #SCOTUS has had a hand in congressional maps in Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Virginia & California. Most of those decisions have benefited the #Republican Party.
The Alabama case is also the latest “emergency” order tied to the court’s April decision on the #VotingRightsAct, in which a 6-3 majority gutted the ability of groups to bring claims of racial #discrimination under that 1965 landmark #law.

#SCOTUS dealt with the case in an unsigned order [cowards] over the dissent of the 3 liberal justices.
The order on the court’s #EmergencyDocket is the latest instance of the justices dipping into the nationwide flurry of mid-decade #redistricting instigated by #Trump’s desire for the #GOP to retain control [steal #elections] of the #House in this November’s midterms.
