ROUNDUP NEWSWIRES: Supreme Court Ruling On Alabama’s Electoral Map Could Boost Democrats in 2024 Race
The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision may give Democrats a potential advantage in the 2024 congressional election.
The court ruled 5-4 that Alabama’s Republican-drawn electoral map violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which bans racial discrimination in voting.
The decision might make Alabama reorganize its seven House districts, increasing districts with Black majorities or near-majorities from one to two.
This could benefit Democrats, particularly in the South, where voting often follows racial lines.
This ruling could influence the balance of power in the House, which Republicans currently control by a slim 222-212 majority.
Democrats hope this decision will help them regain the chamber in 2024, as it may lead to better representation of the nation’s diversity.
Despite Democrats’ optimism, Republicans claim the ruling will not affect their chances in the 2024 race.
