Court Clears Alabama to Use New Voting Map Ahead of 2026 Elections
TL;DR
The Supreme Court issued a one-paragraph order clearing Alabama to use a new congressional map for the 2026 midterms, sending the case back to a lower court to reconsider in light of the Court’s recent Voting Rights Act decision; the map would create only one majority-Black district (down from two), a change Republicans hope will ease their House majority, while Justice Sotomayor dissented.
