Supreme Court conservative majority poised to uphold Alabama congressional map
The Supreme Court's conservative majority appeared ready Tuesday to uphold Alabama's GOP-friendly congressional map, in an important voting rights case that could major implications in the 2024 race and beyond.
In a tense nearly two-hour oral argument, the state argued it was taking a "race-neutral" approach in creating voting boundaries, and that it should not be forced to sort voters by race.
But the Biden administration and civil rights groups told the justices not to weaken enforcement of a key provision in the landmark Voting Rights Act.
