The federal judge is expected to approve a new congressional map for the state of Alabama. This new map could lead to a gain of Democratic representatives. This is due to the fact that the state is deeply Republican. The judge’s decision is based on a finding that the current map was racially gerrymandered and designed to give the Republican Party an advantage in elections. The new map is expected to create more competitive districts that will make it easier for Democrats to gain representation in the state.
