Original: How Alabama's Republicans are disenfranchising Black voters – video By Oliver Laughland, Tom Silverstone, Katie Lamborn,

The Guardian has published a video report by Oliver Laughland, Tom Silverstone and Katie Lamborn examining how Alabama's Republicans are disenfranchising Black voters. It focuses on the battle for Alabama's second congressional district, set against a backdrop of partisan gerrymandering and ongoing fights over voting rights in America. The report highlights claims that redistricting and electoral maneuvers are weakening Black political power in the state.
