5/ Murray cont'd:
And that's not all!
After the 2020 census Alabama drew its new Congressional map... and it seemed to many that the map was drawn for the purpose of diluting the electoral power of Black people, who comprise 27% of the state's population
Black voters, represented by the @NAACP_LDF and other groups, sued the state under Section 2, arguing that the map, as drawn, was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.
