The U.S. Supreme Court has vacated a lower court ruling requiring Alabama to maintain two majority-Black congressional districts in a 6-3 decision.
The ruling allows Alabama to revisit its congressional map ahead of 2026 and could lead to a more Republican-leaning configuration. β VoteHub (@VoteHub) May 11, 2026

With the new ruling, Alabama will proceed with a new map that would add one additional safe district for Republicans.

Between the narrowing of the Voting Rights Act and the Virginia Supreme Court ruling that declared the heavily gerrymandered map favorable to Democrats unconstitutional, Democrats are far on the back-foot in the fight to create generous maps in their states.
Republicans have managed to surge ahead on the issue, most notably in Texas and in Florida. Prediction markets have begun to reflect the turning tides, as Democrats look far less likely to gain control of the House after the midterms.

With the midterm elections closing in, time is winding down for each party to finalize their mid-decade maps.

Winning!
More winning? I wasn’t done winning from yesterday’s winning. This is gonna wear me out.
The Supreme Court Just Gave The Rule Of Law Another Major Win.
There, fixed it.
I think we hit 218 with this win and more to come
Roll Tide Roll!!!
Great to see Trump has republicans on the offensive. They’ve been on the defensive for decades. Dems would cry racism and republicans would fold. Dems been using blacks for way too long.
Yeah, baby!
It will be a whole lot more before this process is all said and done over the coming years. A whole lot more.
The Virginia dems’ votemandering shenanigans are in back-fire mode.
Cats out of the bag , overstocked dot conned
Now if only they would toss out birthright citizenship, invalidate the 2020 Census and order a new one without illegals, we might actually be able to take back the country.
Seems democrats hate color blind societies!
So that’s Texas, Missouri, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Tennessee and now Alabama. South Carolina and Mississippi have indicated they will redistrict. That leaves Georgia. Since Kemp doesn’t want to, Georgia needs to be sued to get rid of their unconstitutional maps. Georgia has 4 majority Black districts to get rid of.
It seems like Roberts has been a steady vote for the good guys lately. How out of character for him
I love it when I hear good news.
I think with these SCOTUS rulings the electoral map has shifted from “most likely democrat landslide” to “GOP’s elections to lose”.
