Supreme Court halts order for Alabama to use House map with 2 largely Black districts
The Supreme Court moved to reshape Alabama’s congressional map by lifting a block on a Republican plan that would remove one of Alabama’s two majority-Black districts and could be used for the upcoming midterms.

The coverage shows the map’s status shifting between blocks and potential deployment, with outlet accounts differing on whether the map will be used immediately, or after further proceedings.
