Yesterday, a two-week trial began in Caster v. Allen, a redistricting lawsuit that will determine the fate of Alabama’s congressional map.

The NRF is calling on the district court to reject the state’s attempts to re-install a gerrymandered map that includes just one Black opportunity district.

    The court should make Alabama’s current, Voting Rights Act (VRA)-compliant map permanent for the rest of the decade. That map, which was adopted by the lower federal court following the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Allen v. Milligan, includes two Black opportunity districts.
