Supreme Court allows Alabama GOP-backed congressional map for midterms​

The ruling clears the way for the state's Aug. 11 special primary under the 2023 legislature-adopted map​

By Michael Sinkewicz , Bill Mears , Shannon Bream Fox News

The Supreme Court on Tuesday gave Alabama Republicans a victory, issuing an emergency order that the state can use a congressional map likely to benefit the GOP in November’s midterm elections.

The justices granted Alabama’s emergency appeal to use a map adopted by the state legislature in 2023 that includes a single majority-Black district for this election cycle. The court’s three liberal justices dissented.

Alabama Republicans had sought to revive the previously blocked map, which is expected to give the GOP an opportunity to gain an additional congressional seat by replacing a court-drawn south Alabama district that helped elect a Black Democrat with a map that contains only one majority-Black district.


The ruling came after the Supreme Court last month vacated a lower court ruling blocking Alabama's 2023 congressional map and sent the case back for further review. Last week, however, a three-judge federal panel again blocked the GOP-backed map and ordered Alabama to continue using a court-drawn map containing two districts in which Black voters are a majority or have an opportunity to elect their preferred candidates.

No more Democrat racially drawn congressional districts.
 
Redistricting mid cycle should be against federal law.

That being said, this was also done too late.

What violates federal law is race-based districting, the perennial scheme by which politicians divide citizens by skin color and then congratulate themselves for transcending prejudice.
 
The result of this is what was the purpose of redistricting....parties will gerrymander more

The result is that politicians will no longer enjoy the privilege of carving up the electorate by race and then congratulating themselves on their devotion to equality. Citizens are to be represented as individuals, not sorted into political districts according to race.

Whether they define it by race will change.
