Alabama Map Blocked by Court

A federal court has blocked Alabama’s new congressional map, declaring it intentionally racially discriminatory — a major blow to Republicans who hoped it would help them gain a seat. The judges upheld the old map, which includes two districts where Black voters are the majority, to avoid voter confusion and ensure fair representation. This ruling echoes a broader national trend following the Supreme Court’s weakening of the Voting Rights Act, with states like Louisiana, South Carolina, and Tennessee also grappling with redistricting fallout. While advocates celebrate the decision, GOP supporters vow to appeal — possibly all the way to the Supreme Court — as the battle for fair representation continues.
