Anonymousabout 1 hour ago

A three-judge federal panel on May 26, 2026, blocked Alabama from using its 2023 congressional map in the November midterm elections, finding it "intentionally discriminated" against Black voters — the latest round in a redistricting fight that began in 2021 and has now reached the Supreme Court multiple times. The ruling sets up yet another emergency appeal and raises the stakes for control of the U.S. House, with Alabama's 2nd Congressional District — flipped by Democrat Shomari Figures in 2024 under a court-drawn map — hanging in the balance.
