Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall says he is thrilled to challenge a prior Supreme Court redistricting ruling in light of Louisiana's Callais case.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) has called a special primary election for August following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that could allow the state to hold 2026 elections using a previously blocked GOP-drawn congressional map.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Monday cleared the way for Alabama to revert to a congressional map with one majority-Black district in a sudden ruling that drew a dissent from the court’s three liberal justices.

The decision sends litigation back to a lower court as the state races to adopt a congressional map that would eliminate a majority-Black district and more heavily favor Republicans.

Alabama will hold a special primary election for four of its seven congressional districts, after the Supreme Court cleared the way — and as redistricting ripples through the South.
