Supreme court approves Alabama map that erases majority-Black district

The US Supreme Court's 6-3 decision to allow Alabama to use a congressional map that eliminates one of its two majority-Black districts marks a significant setback for Black voters and a victory for Republicans. This ruling, seen as a major blow to efforts to protect voting rights, reflects ongoing struggles over electoral districting and its impact on minority representation. The decision underscores the high stakes in redistricting battles and the broader implications for political representation and voter rights in the US.
