Supreme Court deals final blow to Alabama GOP in redistricting battle
Fox News
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a petition from Alabama to undo a lower court order that blocked a Republican-drawn congressional map, which lacked a second majority-Black district.
Black voters remain a strong Democratic constituency in the Yellowhammer State, and the new district would favor Democrats as both parties battle for control of the House in 2024. Lawsuits challenging GOP-led redistricting efforts are also pending in Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital.

The decision comes after the state’s initially proposed congressional map — that had one majority-Black district out of seven in a state where 27% of residents are Black — was denied last year by the three-judge panel.
