Case Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court overturned a 2023 order that had required Alabama to redraw its congressional map with race-conscious criteria. This ruling allows Alabama lawmakers to implement a new redistricting plan, which they advanced quickly following the Court's decision on Louisiana's map that found improper racial weighting. The decision effectively resets the legal scene for Alabama's congressional districts just three years after the previous redistricting mandate.

Republicans celebrated another high court ruling in their favor after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Alabama to revisit its congressional map just three years after the bench forced a race-conscious redraw.
