[3] During the 2020 redistricting cycle, Alabama's congressional map faced legal challenges for alleged violations of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

A federal panel initially blocked the 2022 map, finding that the state illegally discriminated against Black voters by not drawing a second majority-Black district.

[7][8] On June 8, 2023, the Supreme Court affirmed the previous finding that the map discriminated against Black Alabamians.

[11] The Alabama Legislature was required to convene a special legislative session in order to draw a new map.

[13] A special conference committee consisting of six members from both wings of the Alabama Legislature passed a new map with additional changes on July 21.

On September 26, 2023, the Supreme Court again denied Alabama's request, meaning that the special master's map was to be used in the 2024 elections.

All three of the proposed remedial maps raised the Black voting-age population in the second congressional district in ranges from 48.5% to 50.1%.

[23] Following another hearing on the case, the federal panel issued an opinion on October 5, 2023, ordering Alabama to implement the congressional map known as Remedial Plan 3, as drawn by the special master.

In Remedial Plan 3, Alabama's 2nd congressional district has a Black voting-age population of 48.7%, and a Black-preferred candidate was found to have won in 16 of 17 simulated elections.
