The US Supreme Court has granted Alabama permission to use a congressional map that favors Republicans for the upcoming midterm elections.This ruling reverses a lower court injunction that had previously blocked the map due to concerns regarding intentional racial discrimination.The decision effectively replaces a court-mandated plan that had successfully created two majority-Black districts during the 2024 elections.Alabama officials are now proceeding with special August primary elections using the disputed boundaries despite ongoing legal challenges from rights groups.
