U.S. solicitor general files brief backing Alabama in congressional redistricting appeal
By
Chance Phillips
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed an amicus brief supporting Alabama in the Milligan v. Allen redistricting case. This comes after a federal panel issued a preliminary injunction requiring Alabama to continue using a court-imposed map with two Black-majority districts for the 2026 elections, citing intentional race-based discrimination. The solicitor general's 29-page brief argues the district court failed to properly account for Alabama's partisan motives behind redistricting.
