- Federal court blocks new Republican-friendly voting map in Alabama
A federal court blocked Alabama's new Republican-friendly congressional map, ruling it was intentionally drawn to discriminate against Black voters. The decision prevents the map from being used in this year’s midterms, requiring Alabama to adopt a map with two majority-Black districts. The ruling follows the U.S. Supreme Court’s weakening of the Voting Rights Act earlier this year.
