'The election outcome was very likely changed by their Feb. 7, 2022, decision to make it clear that the Voting Rights Act would not be enforced this year to prevent states from using congressional districts drawn in violation of the law.'
." And Alabama did not even argue it could not redraw the plan to comply with the law in time for the elections.
Yet—more than two and a half months later—on April 27, New York's highest state court further demonstrated that Kavanaugh's too close to the election explanation does not hold water. The New York courtNew York's congressional districting plan adopted by its Democratic legislature violates the state constitution and must be redrawn for this year's elections. Unlike Alabama, New York complied, adopted a new plan, and moved its primary scheduled for June 28 back to September.
But the Supreme Court's Alabama order—that there was too little time before the election to require compliance with the law—remained in place.ruled it was likely that Georgia's redistricting plan unlawfully dilutes the votes of Georgia's Black citizens. But, citing the Alabama ruling three weeks earlier, the Georgia court found it was too late to require a new plan in time for this year's elections.
What is particularly troubling about the Alabama ruling is that no matter where any Supreme Court justice fits on the political spectrum, and no matter what their judicial philosophy might be, one would have thought that there is common ground that the Supreme Court has a fundamental responsibility to safeguard our democratic system of government.
