[image: AL-Allen-v-Milligan-Alabama-May-Face-Preclearance-Requirements-for-Defying-Court.png] American Democracy Minute Radio Report for May 12, 2025 (Timely to Sept. 1, 2025) *Special Note from the Host**: You may notice some slurring of my speech during this and upcoming reports. May 9th, I suffered an attack of **Bell’s Palsy * <www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bells-palsy/symptoms-causes/syc-20370028>*which has affected the right side of my face and impacts my speech. This is being treated, and recovery is expected with 2-3 weeks of steroid treatments. Thanks for your patience and understanding.*
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision in Allen vs. Milligan in 2023, finding Alabama must provide an additional majority-Black Congressional District. Defiant, the legislature created new maps – again with only one real majority-minority district. That action could return Alabama to “preclearance” status by the federal government.
