Democrats and civil rights groups opposed to Alabama's newly-drawn congressional district map have two days to file a complaint, after the Republican-led state Legislature was court-ordered to redraw the map with two majority-black districts.

Gov. Kay Ivey (R-AL) signed the new map on July 21 — but with only one majority-black district and another being 40% black. Democrats have criticized Republicans for seemingly defying a Supreme Court order from June 8. The high court had ruled the original GOP map violated the Voting Rights Act and discriminated against black voters.

Black voters typically lean heavily Democratic, so the anticipation of two new majority-black districts shifted the projected outcome of five different 2024 House races to lean in favor of Democrats. Democrats have claimed the newly-drawn map is continuing the state's history of alleged voter suppression.

Republicans, however, have hit back at Democrats, claiming that they did not defy the Supreme Court and operated under the voting rights statutes. They also say the newly-drawn map applies to traditional redistricting principles that the high federal court has previously upheld.

“I firmly believe that the map we adopted … is a fair solution that positions Alabama’s congressional districts and our voters in the best way possible,” Alabama Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Reed said in a statement.

Democrats will have until Friday to file a complaint, which is slated to be heard by a three-judge panel on August 14. Both parties have been asked to submit three to five names of outside mapmakers by Friday, as well.

There is a tight timeline for debates over Alabama's congressional map. State officials say the final map must be in place by early October to provide candidates with enough time to prepare for the primary elections in March. If the three-judge panel rules the map must be redrawn again with a second majority-Black district, two Democrats could possibly be representing Alabama in the House.

However, the state could appeal a new map drawn under the court's ruling, which would begin another round of litigation.

As of now, the newly-drawn map guarantees that no incumbents will face off in a primary election in 2024, as well. Ivey said in a statement last week that the Alabama legislature "knows our state, our people, and our district better than the federal courts or activists groups."
