Supreme Court Allows Alabama Map That Eliminates One Democratic District
Trump's Republicans fighting to keep control of Congress
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented from the majority, and Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined.
The justices, split 6-3 on ideological lines with conservatives in the majority, granted an emergency request filed by Republican officials seeking to use the map, which was enacted in 2023 but has never been used.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for Alabama Republicans to remove the state’s second majority-Black congressional district for the midterms, handing the party a pickup opportunity in an apparent 6-3 vote.
