SCOTUS Hands Alabama Major Boost In Redistricting Fight – Full Article

Republicans have picked up another major win at the U.S. Supreme Court, and lawmakers are not wasting time preparing to take advantage before November’s high-stakes midterm elections.

Alabama received approval from the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to move forward with a redistricting effort that could strengthen Republican prospects in two congressional districts currently represented by Democrats.

In a 6-3 decision, the justices vacated a lower court order that had required Alabama’s congressional map to contain two majority-Black voting districts.
