Alabama GOP Asks Supreme Court to Reinstate Congressional Map

The court added that maintaining the current court-approved map would not disrupt upcoming elections.

The panel included U.S. Circuit Judge Stanley Marcus, appointed by former President Bill Clinton, along with District Judges Anna Manasco and Terry Moorer, both appointed by President Donald Trump.

Their ruling forces Alabama to continue using the court-drawn congressional map first implemented during the 2024 election cycle. That map created a second district with a substantial Black voting population and ultimately paved the way for Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures to win office.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall blasted the decision and vowed to continue fighting.
