Alabama is headed to the first significant revamp of its congressional map in three decades after the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the state’s bid to keep using a plan with a single majority-Black district.

Lawyers for the state defended Alabama’s new congressional map before a panel of judges who previously ruled the 2021 map violated the Voting Rights Act.
