Alabama is sueing the U.S. Census Bureau in hopes of speeding up the redistricting process and stopping the bureau from using the controversial technique to manipulate data.
The Census is trying to stop data companies from matching people to confidential information they give to the bureau, but they are doing so by rearranging their information within a state.
Alabama argues that means certain neighborhoods are reporting no African-American adults, which could lead to unconstitutional districts.
