2/ Via Elie:
Basically, Alabama drew some racist electoral maps, and were sued and lost. Alabama appealed and the Court allowed Alabama to use the racist maps in the last election (which helped Republicans take Congress).
But now, the Court is saying that Alabama can be sued.
Man, I'm going to have to start saying "Almost every time Roberts hears a Voting Rights Case, he rules against Black people."
There's an update I'm HAPPY to make.
