Instead, the redistricting committee proposed a map that raises the number of Black voters in the second district, but doesn't give them the majority.
But, according to The Hill, the team of Republicans tasked with redrawing Alabama's district map aren't listening to the Supreme Court's ruling.
In this case, it's not about the percentage of Black voters in the district, Gaber said.
"It is a continuation of the state's long, sordid history of disenfranchising Black voters."
"To me this is evidence of purposeful discrimination at this point given what they've been told by the US Supreme Court."
