A federal court has reaffirmed that the VRA must be enforced in Alabama—meaning the state must continue to have 2 Black opportunity districts. Today’s ruling confirms what we’ve known all along: Black Alabamians have a fundamental right to *real* electoral power.

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 conservative states behind this lawsuit are attempting to depart from the bedrock theory of the Constitution that everyone—every person—should be counted equally for the purpose of congressional apportionment.” redistrictingfoundation.org/news/eric-ho... #census

Census news: The NRF is supporting a group of California & Texas voters in moving to intervene in Louisiana v. Dept. of Commerce—voters who are seeking to protect their congressional & Electoral College representation from a challenge by conservative states to a fair and accurate census count.
