Supreme Court Allows Alabama Redistricting Plan Favoring Republicans

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling that permits Alabama to adopt a new congressional map. The map aligns with Republican preferences and removes a majority‑Black district. The case is the first major challenge since the Court narrowed the Voting Rights Act. The decision clears procedural hurdles for the state’s redistricting plan. Critics argue the change could diminish Black voting strength in the state. Supporters contend the map reflects lawful districting criteria. The ruling may affect upcoming House elections in Alabama. Watch for potential legal challenges or legislative responses in the coming months.
