A lawsuit challenging Arkansas congressional map was tossed this week by a three-judge panel that ruled the shift of more than 23,000 Black voters in southern Pulaski County from the 2nd Congressional District to two other districts was legal because it was motivated by politics rather than race.
The 2021 redistricting legislation that split Pulaski County into three congressional districts on Tuesday drew another legal challenge alleging that the plan violates the U.S. Constitution and dilutes the power of Black voters.
