## Resource

The Supreme Court has cleared the way for Alabama to use a GOP-backed congressional map that critics say intentionally dilutes Black voting power, rejecting a lower court’s ruling that found racial discrimination. With only one Black-majority district under the map — adopted three years ago — and despite objections from civil rights groups, the high court sided with state Republicans, who argue the map reflects legitimate redistricting. The decision, echoing recent rulings that weakened voting protections, allows Alabama to hold special primaries under the map on August 11, as Governor Kay Ivey declares it a victory for state autonomy and voter turnout. The ruling signals a broader national trend as Republicans across the South seek to reshape districts with historically Democratic minority communities.
