Alabama suffered a court loss on Monday to stay a ruling that struck down Republicans' latest congressional map over alleged Voting Rights Act violations.
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen filed the appeal to the Supreme Court last week after the federal district court ruled against lawmakers' bid to draw its congressional map without a second majority-black district.The Supreme Court already ruled against the state once over the same matter, though lawmakers argue the ruling did not specify that they needed to draw a second majority-black district to be in compliance with the high court's decision.
A three-judge panel on Monday wrote,"It is exceptionally unusual for a litigant who has presented his arguments to the Supreme Court once already — and lost — to assert that he is now 'overwhelmingly likely' to prevail on those same arguments in that Court in this case."This is a developing story and will be updated.
