A special master is due to send the court three potential congressional maps by Sept. 25.
Sep. 11, 2023, 2:47 p.m.A three-judge federal court on Monday denied a motion from Alabama’s secretary of state to stay a ruling requiring a special master to draw three potential congressional maps later this month after finding the state’s earlier redistricting proposals likely diluted the votes of Black Alabamians.
The judges wrote that Allen has not shown that Alabama is likely to prevail on the merits of the case while appealing the decision for a special master. “As an initial matter, there is no emergency. We ruled expeditiously, weeks in advance of the early October deadline that the Secretary twice told us he needed to make,” the judges ruled. “We have eleven illustrative maps in hand already, and the Special Master and his team are hard at work to recommend a lawful map for us to order the Secretary to use on the timetable that he set. In our view, these proceedings are running on precisely the schedule agreed upon by all parties.
