NAACP Legal Defense Fund Wins Major Voting Rights Case Against Alabama Gerrymandering

In a powerful win for civil rights, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund has secured a landmark Supreme Court ruling against Alabama’s racially discriminatory redistricting. Argued by attorney Deuel Ross, the case proved that Alabama intentionally diluted Black political power by carving up the state’s historic Black Belt and refusing to create two majority-Black congressional districts. “The Supreme Court ruled that Alabama violated the Voting Rights Act,” Ross told BlackPressUSA. This victory is particularly significant following a wave of recent decisions that have weakened federal voting protections. The ruling reinforces the ongoing need for the Voting Rights Act and affirms that intentional discrimination won’t go unchallenged. For Black voters in Alabama and beyond, this is more than a legal win—it’s a declaration that fair representation still matters.
