Redistricting in Alabama is the process by which boundaries are redrawn for federal congressional and state legislative districts.
The redrawn district, now majority nonwhite, elected Earl Hilliard Sr. to the U.S. House in 1992, becoming the first Black member from Alabama since Jeramiah Haralson in 1877.
In the resulting 2010 United States redistricting cycle, the legislature moved to protect Republican incumbents.

Soon after, multiple groups of plaintiffs sued, asserting the districts violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
