Alabama Redistricting Map Blocked

A federal court has blocked Alabama from using a newly redrawn congressional map, ruling that it intentionally discriminates against Black voters.

The three-judge panel ordered the state to maintain two majority-Black districts for the 2026 midterm elections.

The ruling is a setback for President Trump's nationwide push for GOP-led states to redraw maps in their favor.

Alabama Republicans have signaled they will appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, arguing the state has the right to determine its own boundaries.
