🗳 🚨Supreme Court Hands Alabama Republicans Major Redistricting Victory -

The Supreme Court on Tuesday handed Alabama Republicans a significant victory in the state’s ongoing battle over congressional redistricting, allowing Alabama to use a map that eliminates one of its two majority-minority congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

In a 6-3 emergency order, the Court granted Alabama’s request to implement the map adopted by the Republican-controlled legislature in 2023, reversing a lower court ruling that had blocked its use. The decision clears the way for Alabama to conduct this year’s elections under a map more favorable to Republicans and puts Rep. Shomari Figures’ (D-AL) seat in jeopardy for Democrats.

The ruling marks the latest development in a years-long legal fight over Alabama’s congressional boundaries and comes just months after the Supreme Court issued a separate decision involving Louisiana that narrowed the scope of challenges brought under the Voting Rights Act.

The unsigned majority opinion suggested Alabama is likely to prevail in the broader litigation and criticized the lower court for intervening so close to the election calendar.

“Here, the District Court interposed itself into Alabama’s ongoing efforts to conduct its imminent 2026 congressional elections under maps that its elected representatives selected,” the Court wrote.

🗳Alabama Files Emergency Stay Applications with U.S. Supreme Court in Congressional Redistricting Cases

(Montgomery, Ala) – Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall today filed emergency applications for a stay with the United States Supreme Court in Allen v. Singleton, Allen v. Caster and Allen v. Milligan, challenging a preliminary injunction issued May 26, 2026, by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama that blocks the State from using its 2023 congressional districting plan in the 2026 elections.

The applications, directed to Associate Justice Clarence Thomas as Circuit Justice for the Eleventh Circuit, ask the Court to stay the district court's order and request a ruling before June 1, 2026. The State also requests an immediate administrative stay to allow election preparations to resume in the interim.

“Yesterday’s decision was disappointing but was not surprising. The Supreme Court made it clear in Callais that courts should not impose or require states to draw racially gerrymandered congressional maps. But the three-judge district court set that rule aside and once again replaced Alabama’s map with one that sorts voters based on race,” Attorney General Marshall said. “The extent to which there is confusion about the maps which Alabama uses for congressional districts seems to be with the three-judge panel, not the voters. The fact that our State’s conservative electorate has conservative representation is democracy, not an attack on it.”

“I believe we should have a 7-0 Republican congressional delegation that reflects Alabama’s voters and complies with the Supreme Court’s ruling in Callais, and a stay from this decision is now the best avenue to achieve that goal. If the court will not uphold the law, I am confident that the Supreme Court will.”

The filings argue that the district court's injunction conflicts with the Supreme Court's recent decision in Louisiana v. Callais and interferes with the State’s redistricting law.
