Supreme Court Vacates Alabama Map, Threatening Black Voter Protections
The U.S. Supreme Court vacated Alabama’s current congressional map on May 11, 2026, amidst ongoing primary elections, prompting criticism from voting rights advocates who contend the decision imperils protections for Black voters. This ruling follows the Court’s recent *Louisiana v. Callais* decision, which narrowed the scope of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
