SCOTUS Hands Alabama Major Boost In Redistricting Fight – Full Article

State officials plan to revert to congressional district maps approved by the Legislature in 2023, along with state Senate district lines adopted in 2021.

Alabama’s May 19 primary election is expected to proceed as scheduled, though a recently enacted law gives Ivey the authority to call special elections after the primary in any districts affected by redistricting changes.

Alabama is among several states moving to redraw congressional boundaries ahead of the November midterm elections.

Republicans have so far gained momentum in the broader nationwide redistricting fight, with the GOP potentially positioned to pick up additional House seats through new district maps approved or under consideration in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, and Tennessee.
