Alabama Democrats are accusing Republicans of ignoring a recent Supreme Court ruling with the newest congressional map.

Republicans were told to redraw congressional districts after the Supreme Court affirmed a federal court ruling that they must make at least two districts majority black, or close to majority black, a demographic that votes overwhelmingly Democratic. However, Republicans are poised on Friday to create only one black-majority district, leading Democrats to argue the party is ignoring the recent Supreme Court ruling.

Several left-wing groups led the outcry.

“Alabama Republicans are intentionally drawing political retention maps at the expense of black Alabamians — in defiance of the Supreme Court and the Alabama district court. It is a continuation of the state’s long, sordid history of disenfranchising black voters,” Marina Jenkins, the executive director of the National Redistricting Foundation, told NBC News.

Jenkins pledged to challenge the new map in court, which could lead to another Supreme Court battle.

"This is exactly why the Voting Rights Act was first created — this sort of stubbornness of states," NAACP Legal Defense Fund attorney Deuel Ross said. "Even when a court says that they're violating federal law or the Constitution, they continue to fail to do the right thing. It's troubling, but it's part of a troubling history that has existed in America and Alabama for a long time."

Republicans argued they are meeting the Voting Rights Act criteria, which wasn't clearly laid out, with one plan for the second district having a 38% black population and another 42%. The district previously had a 30% black population.

“We believe it does meet the Voting Rights [Act] standard because we followed all the guidelines," state Sen. Steve Livingston, a Republican, said. "As an opportunity district, nobody knows what the definition of opportunity is. They didn’t give us [a definition]."

“I think we’re doing exactly what we’re supposed to do, our job, which is to put all the ideas on the table, both chambers engaged completely, and then we’ll move forward to see where things go,” Republican state Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Reed said Thursday. “Obviously, we’re going to come to some agreement between the two chambers, and that’s very important for all of us.”

Republicans in Washington confirmed they are monitoring the situation closely, including Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

"I’d like to know where they’re going to go and whether they’re in the process of happening (sic)," McCarthy said, adding he has spoken with "a few" Alabama lawmakers. "I know the Democrats are trying very hard to redraw New York. ... I think people should be very fair in this process to be able to see what’s happening. I like to know what’s going to happen out there."
