6/ Murray cont'd:
A lower federal court agreed with the Black voters and said that the map was an impermissible gerrymander and that AL had to redraw its map before the midterm election.
AL appealed the matter to SCOTUS on the shadow docket. SCOTUS, in a 5-4 decision, stayed the lower court's ruling, allowing the map to go into effect and be used in the 2022 midterm election.
