Supreme Court Lets Alabama Use GOP‑Favored Congressional Map for 2026 Elections

The Supreme Court issued a ruling on Alabama’s congressional district map. The high court said the state may proceed with the map for the upcoming elections. The map draws district boundaries that advantage Republican candidates. The decision comes after a legal dispute over the map’s partisan orientation. By allowing its use, the Court leaves the map in effect for this year’s vote. Voters in Alabama will cast ballots under the approved district configuration. The ruling could affect the partisan composition of Alabama’s House delegation. Political observers will monitor how the decision shapes the election outcome.
