Five Southern States Advance New Congressional Maps After Court Ruling

Five Republican-controlled states have advanced new congressional maps since a Supreme Court ruling last month. A spate of redistricting efforts across the South resulted in a series of last-minute voting changes and left election officials scrambling to deal with the aftermath.

Election officials are updating ballots, precinct assignments, and voter notifications to match the new district boundaries. The changes affect how voters will be assigned to congressional districts for upcoming elections.

The new maps were completed after the Supreme Court issued its ruling last month. State election offices are now working to implement the revised districts before the next voting cycle begins.
