Alabama Lawmakers to Vote on Congressional Map

Need2Know Headlines

Republican lawmakers in Alabama are expected to vote today in favor of a congressional map with only one majority black seat. Despite a court order requiring them to include two majority black districts on the map. Last year, a federal court issued that order and the US Supreme Court upheld it earlier this year this week. Though Alabama's legislature called a special session to redraw the map. Democrats say this new map ignores the Supreme Court's ruling.
