Court blocks Alabama congressional map tied to GOP redistricting push.
A panel of federal judges blocked Alabama from using a GOP-drawn congressional map that would eliminate one of the state’s majority-Black districts. NBC News’ Gary Grumbach reports on how the case could soon be decided by the Supreme Court.
A three-judge panel on Tuesday blocked a Republican-drawn congressional map in Alabama from going into effect, writing that the district lines “intentionally discriminated based on race in violation of the Constitution.”“We cannot see our way clear to requiring Alabamians to cast their votes in the 2026 elections under a districting plan tainted by intentional race-based discrimination,” the panel of federal judges wrote.
A three-judge panel in a federal court in Alabama ruled unanimously on Tuesday that state Republicans are still blocked from using their 2023 congressional map.
