Although Alabama has tried to push back on the lower court’s efforts, #SCOTUS last month rejected the state’s request to stop the lower court from proceeding with its mapmaking. https://www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-rejects-alabama-congressional-map-stay 

 A note/reminder that Alabama — i.e., Alabama taxpayers, ultimately — will be paying for this additional mapmaking that its refusal to follow the law necessitated:

 Here is my report on today’s Alabama news: https://www.lawdork.com/p/alabama-new-congressional-map-order 

 @0bdc49eb might I suggest "Wes Allen backs down" instead of "stands down"? For a moment I thought he resigned from office. 

 @f55632d5 changed! honestly I got rid of a line about the tweet, calling it a “resigned tweet,” to avoid that confusion. 🙃 

 @0bdc49eb so in Nov 2024 when they still use the old maps, then what? 

 @3c95b752 the story says … they’re not. 

 @0bdc49eb right, but I trust them as far as I can throw them and I'm curious what the worst case (and most likely in my opinion) scenario will be. 

 @3c95b752 I mean, the 2024 election process is starting this month, per the SOS. So, what you’re saying is not happening.
