The revamped Congressional District 2, which was designed to boost the voting power of Black residents, has a voting-age population that is 48.7% Black, giving the district a decidedly Democratic tilt.
State Republicans, however, say they are not ceding the seat without a fight.
A federal judge ordered Georgia to draw an additional Black-majority congressional district, although the state plans to appeal.
The Alabama district is an open seat in the 2024 election after the current representative, Republican Rep. Barry Moore, was drawn out of the district.
Moore has decided to challenge Republican Rep. Jerry Carl in Congressional District 1.
