Analysis Summary
The Supreme Court blocked a lower court order that required Alabama to maintain two majority-Black congressional districts, clearing the way for the state to adopt a map with only one. The decision — a 6-3 ruling — reverses protections that allowed Democrat Shomari Figures to win the second Black-majority seat in 2024 and gives Republicans a clearer path to reclaim that district. The ruling reflects the Court's earlier narrowing of the Voting Rights Act this term, which has already prompted similar redistricting battles in other states like Virginia.
