Supreme Court Approves Alabama GOP-Friendly Congressional Map for Midterm Elections

The Supreme Court has allowed Alabama to use a GOP-friendly congressional map for the 2024 midterms, enabling the state to maintain one of its two Republican-leaning House districts despite a challenge from Democratic lawmakers. The decision comes after a lower court ruled that the original map was discriminatory against African American voters. The new map, which the court approved Tuesday, will likely benefit Republicans in the midterm elections. The ruling has sparked criticism from Democrats and civil rights groups.
