Federal court selects new Alabama congressional map, likely handing Democrats a seat at next House election
Fox News
A three-judge panel selected a new congressional map for Alabama on Thursday, one that will likely give Democrats another seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The judges made their selection from three remedial maps that were proposed by a court-appointed official after hearing objections from both parties. The new map, which replaces the Republican drawn lines, will be used for the 2024 elections. Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News.

The ruling, which orders the Alabama secretary of state to administer the next election based on the selected map's lines, states that "the Plaintiffs already suffered this irreparable injury once in this census cycle when they voted in 2022 under the unlawful 2021 Plan" and "will suffer an irreparable harm absent injunctive relief."
