⚖️🗳️✊ Federal Court Rules Alabama Electoral Map Intentionally Discriminated Against Black Voters 🔹 Summary: A U.S. federal court ruled that Alabama’s Republican-led legislature deliberately defied legal orders by maintaining a congressional map with only one majority-Black district, despite prior rulings demanding two, violating the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution. The decision, sharply critical of the state’s actions, ensures that Alabama will use a court-approved map with two Black-majority districts through the decade, marking a historic shift in representation. 🔹 Key Points: • Judges found Alabama’s 2023 map mirrored its 2021 version, despite prior rulings that it diluted Black voting power. • The legislature’s refusal to comply was called a “strategic attempt to checkmate” the court’s injunction. • The court-approved map led to the election of two Black representatives, Terri Sewell and Shomari Figures, in 2024. • The ruling enforces two Black-majority districts under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and the Fourteenth Amendment. • Alabama’s Attorney General is reviewing the decision, with “all options” reportedly under consideration. @CMEActiveTrader Tickers Of Interest: $ES $NQ $CL $GC Tickers Of Interest: $USD $DXY $SPX $DJI $IXIC
