Alabama Voter Plaintiffs in Congressional Redistricting Case File Brief in Opposition to State’s Request for a Stay

On September 5, a 3-judge U.S. District Court in Alabama struck down the state’s new U.S. House redistricting plan. The state then asked for a stay. Now the voter-plaintiffs who won the case have filed a brief explaining why the court should not stay its own opinion. Singleton v Allen, n.d., 2:21cv-1291.

The brief argues that the map proposed by the voter-plaintiffs is not a “racial gerrymander” because it conforms to the traditional characteristics of an acceptable plan, plus having the virtue of promoting fair representation for Black voters.

It is extremely likely that the U.S. District Court will not stay its own decision. At that point the state will ask the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay.

  1. US supreme court should issue the stay, plus throw out racial gerrymanders altogether. I’m optimistic that is exactly what will happen.

  2. I wouldn’t be surprised if Alabama goes to the US Supreme Court and lose again at this point. After all, they were the ones who ruled that Alabama had to draw new districts.

  3. That Is Why The Citizens In This State Don’t Trust Their Government It’s The Government That Needs To Be Behind Bars People’s That Represent The Law Passed A Lie And Signed It Into Law Took To 3 Judges They Struck It Down And Now They Are Taking That Lie Back Where They Already Had Call The Supreme Court A Lie And Drew Their Own Map And Going To Send It Back To The Supreme Court They Should Be Locked Up

  4. Western Pennsylvania is not in Alabama. Supreme Court should throw out racial gerrymandered districts.
