In recent days, the justices have sided with Republicans in Alabama and Louisiana who hope to redo their congressional maps to produce more GOP-leaning seats following the court’s voting rights decision.

The Supreme Court has rejected Virginia’s bid to restore a congressional map that would have given Democrats a chance to pick up four seats in the closely divided House of Representatives.

May 12 (UPI) -- Missouri's Supreme Court has approved the state's new congressional maps, handing a win to the Trump administration as it seeks to create additional Republican-favored seats ahead of November's midterm elections.

Virginia Democrats made a Hail Mary attempt to the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, asking the justices to revive the state's Democrat-friendly congressional map.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed legislation to hold special primary elections if federal courts allow.

The ruling is a significant victory for Republicans in the state, who argued the map was an "unconstitutional power grab," and would grant Democrats a 10-1 advantage.
