MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama on Monday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to let it keep Republican-drawn congressional lines in place as the state continues to fight a court order to create a second district where Black voters constitute a majority or close to it. Despite losing at the Supreme Court earlier this year in the long-running redistricting case, Alabama is pursuing another appeal, hoping for a different result with the most recent GOP version of the map. Alabama asked the justices to stay a ruling issued last week by a three-judge panel that that blocked use of the latest GOP-drawn districts in upcoming elections and directed a court-appointed special master to propose new lines for the state. The judges, in their ruling, said Alabama lawmakers deliberately defied their directive to create a second majority-Black district or something close to it. The Alabama attorney general’s office asked justices to put the order on hold while the state appeals “so that millions of Alaba...Teenager dead, man injured after Rhode Island Row shooting
