Summary
Alabama’s Attorney General Steve Marshall has filed a Supreme Court challenge to overturn a prior ruling that limited Republicans in redistricting. The challenge comes after a Louisiana case raised questions about the court’s previous ruling. Marshall said the decision conflicts with Supreme Court precedent affecting Alabama, requiring racial factors to be considered when drawing congressional districts. The case could have national implications for Democrats’ attempts to gain seats in the US House.
