Supreme Court Allows Alabama Republicans to Pursue New Voting Map
The U.S. Supreme Court allowed Alabama Republicans to pursue a new congressional voting map that is more favorable to their party, reversing a lower court's decision which had blocked the plan for allegedly diluting Black voters' influence. The ruling could reduce the number of majority-Black districts from two to one in Alabama’s seven House seats.
