Durbin, Warnock Statement On Federaql District Court Striking Down Alabama Republicans' Congressional Map Again
Statement
Issues: Judicial Branch Elections
"After the Supreme Court struck down their proposed Congressional map earlier this summer, Alabama Republicans chose to defy the Court and double down on discriminatory districts. We're pleased to see that independent, court-appointed experts have been assigned to propose maps that include a second majority-Black district as ordered.
Bad faith actors in Alabama and across the country have shown that they are dead set on making it more difficult for Americans to vote. While today's ruling is a short-term victory, we will continue our work to reintroduce the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to fully restore the Voting Rights Act and safeguard the fundamental right to participate in our democracy."
