The report misses that Alabama DID revise their congressional map as ordered, and they did so in keeping with what the Supreme Court actually said about the law, including the VRA.
The lower court didn't like even the revised map, which is fine, but it doesn't mean the state defied the law.
So now there'll be an appeal to see if the lower court has legs to stand on or if it's exceeding its authority, misreading the law.
