Arise legislative update: Update on Alabama’s new congressional map


Arise’s Mike Nicholson gives an update on the new congressional map that the U.S. District Court approved as a remedy in Alabama’s redistricting case last week. That order came after federal judges ruled that both the state’s original map and the revised one that the Legislature passed during a special session in July likely did not comply with the Voting Rights Act. Mike discusses why the court chose the new map and what it may mean for future elections.
