A Supreme Court that’s grown increasingly deferential to state legislatures in redistricting, even when they draw lines in obnoxiously partisan ways, ruled Thursday that Alabama ran afoul of the federal Voting Rights Act by diluting the power of Black voters. It’s an important correction that should — but almost surely won’t — signal the judiciary’s willingness to serve as a check on more of the pernicious ways in which vote counts are effectively rigged.The Constitution generally gives states the power to draw congressional district lines. But there are limits: The federal judiciary has rightly ruled redistricting illegal when it violates the 1965 statute designed to protect the franchise for citizens regardless of their race.Largely ignoring that law, Alabama’s Republican legislature in 2021 redrew congressional districts and continued just one district among seven where Blacks constitute the voting majority, despite their comprising 27% o...
