Supreme Court greenlights racially gerrymandered Alabama map after gutting the Voting Rights Act

The U.S. Supreme Court allowed Alabama to use a 2023 congressional map previously ruled racially discriminatory, blocking a lower court's ruling. The 6-3 decision in Allen v. Milligan upheld the map despite claims it disadvantaged Black voters, following a prior ruling that weakened the Voting Rights Act's Section 2. Dissenting justices warned the decision would create electoral chaos.
