Alabama lawmakers just took a bold stand for sanity in redistricting. They approved a bill to hold new congressional primaries if courts greenlight a return to the state’s 2023 map. That map, drawn by the people’s elected representatives, would flip the current 5-2 Republican advantage to a commanding 6-1 split.This comes after the Supreme Court wisely narrowed the Voting Rights Act’s reach, giving Alabama solid ground to challenge the activist-imposed map that carved out two majority-Black districts. Enough with the judicial meddling that rigs outcomes under the guise of “fairness.” Southern states are done letting left-wing courts dictate districts that ignore actual voter geography and population realities.The contrast is clear: the 2023 map reflects how Alabamians actually vote. Expect more of this pushback ahead of 2026 as red states reclaim their right to draw lines without federal overreach. Common sense is finally fighting back.Sources: Alabama legislative action on 2023 congressional map bill U.S. Supreme Court ruling narrowing Voting Rights Act scope 2023 vs current Alabama congressional district maps
