Alabama’s Voting Map Blocked by Court

Alabama’s congressional map is officially off the table for the 2026 elections after a federal court ruled it likely violated the Voting Rights Act by intentionally diluting Black voters’ influence. The court, citing clear evidence of racial gerrymandering and rejecting claims of partisan motives, ordered the state to revert to a map drawn by a court-appointed special master — a decision that halts Alabama’s legislative preparations and keeps voters under the current map until a new one is approved. This ruling is part of a broader wave of redistricting battles across the South, reshaping how elections are conducted in the region.
