Supreme Court's Alabama Voting Rights Ruling Sparks Democratic Opportunity and Speculation.

TL;DR Summary
Democrats see an opportunity to take back the House from Republicans next year after the Supreme Court ruled that Alabama's congressional map violates the Voting Rights Act by diluting the power of Black voters. The ruling could lead to the creation of new Black-majority, strongly Democratic seats in multiple states, potentially offsetting a new map Republicans are set to draw in North Carolina. Democrats are urging their party to find other states where they can file lawsuits over allegations of racial gerrymandering, including Texas, where similar rulings could produce at least five new Democratic-leaning districts.
