The panel of three judges instead ordered Alabama to continue using a court-selected map that includes two majority-Black districts. Those congressional district lines were used in the 2024 elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In their decision, the three judges found that the redistricting plan adopted by Alabama’s GOP-led legislature in 2023 intentionally discriminated on the basis of race, in violation of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Ultimately, 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 judges said.<\/p>\n

The decision is the latest twist in the long-running legal fight over Alabama’s congressional map. The case landed back before the district court after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision last month that weakened<\/span> a key provision of the Voting Rights Act.<\/p>\n
