The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 unsigned order Tuesday night permitting Alabama to implement a congressional map that eliminates a district held by a Black Democrat. The decision applies and expands the Court's recent ruling in Louisiana v. Callais. Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's April 29 ruling in Callais v. Louisiana—which struck down a second majority-Black congressional district as racial gerrymandering—civil rights advocates in the Deep South have condemned the decision as a threat to Black representation. States including Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana are redrawing maps, prompting vows of lawsuits and midterm mobilization.

The U.S. Supreme Court last week issued a ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that dismantled key elements of the Voting Rights Act. The decision has prompted swift redistricting efforts in multiple states. Revelations about the lead plaintiff have also surfaced.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on April 29 that Louisiana's congressional map, which included a second majority-Black district, constitutes an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act requires proof of intentional discrimination, not just disparate impact. The decision, in Louisiana v. Callais, limits race-based redistricting and prompts new maps in several states.

The Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling on April 29 that significantly limited the reach of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The decision in Louisiana v. Callais has prompted several states to redraw congressional maps. Lawmakers in affected states have cited partisan reasons for the changes.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued an order on Monday allowing its April 29 decision in Louisiana v. Callais to take immediate effect, bypassing the usual 32-day waiting period. This enables Louisiana to cancel its congressional primaries and redraw maps before the 2026 midterms. The move sparked a sharp exchange between Justice Samuel Alito's concurrence and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent.
