Alabama GOP Asks Supreme Court to Reinstate Congressional Map

Alabama Republicans are taking their congressional redistricting fight back to the Supreme Court after a federal court blocked the state’s GOP-backed map.

The federal court ruled this week that Republicans intentionally discriminated against Black voters despite the Supreme Court’s recent decision weakening the Voting Rights Act.

On Wednesday, Alabama officials filed an emergency appeal asking the nation’s highest court to allow the state to use a Republican-favored congressional map for the 2026 elections.
