- Federal judges block Alabama’s use of 2023 congressional map
Federal judges blocked Alabama’s use of a 2023 congressional map, ruling it racially discriminatory, and ordered the state to use a remedial map. The decision followed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and the judges found the 2023 map aimed to dilute Black voters' influence.
