Alabama lawmakers approved a plan to redraw congressional districts that could lead to new primaries and diminish Black representation.The legislation now awaits action from Governor Kay Ivey as Republicans leverage a recent US Supreme Court ruling to secure partisan gains.Democrats and civil rights groups have condemned the initiative as a discriminatory effort to reclaim seats held by officials like Shomari Figures.Similar redistricting efforts are currently unfolding in states including Tennessee and Louisiana following weakened
Voting Rights Act protections.
