The Supreme Court allowed Alabama on Tuesday to move forward with a plan to implement a new congressional map boosting Republicans ahead of the November midterm elections.
The justices granted the state’s emergency appeal of a lower court order that ruled the map drawn by the Legislature in 2023 intentionally discriminated against Black people.
Alabama’s new map will give Republicans an advantage in one of the state’s two Democrat-controlled congressional districts.
