Federal court challenge to Alabama’s congressional districts. Plaintiffs allege that race was the predominant factor when drawing districts, as evidenced by  the “packing [of] one-third of Black Alabamians into CD 7 and cracking the remaining Black community.” Plaintiffs also allege that the congressional district violates § 2 of the VRA.

Court consolidated the case with Singleton v. Merrill for the limited purpose of the preliminary injunction hearing and reserved judgement on further consolidation.
