  • Today's installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.

On Friday, a federal court rejected Alabama's newly drawn congressional map, marking the second time the state's map has been struck down for violating the Voting Rights Act by diluting the power of Black voters. The court ordered a special master to redraw the map to include a second district where Black voters would have an opportunity to elect their preferred candidates, following a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the need for such representation. This decision is significant as it could influence the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives, where Democrats are seeking to regain control. The ruling also reflects ongoing national debates about voting rights and representation, particularly in states with significant minority populations.
