The Virginia Supreme Court had struck down the redistricting referendum in a 4-3 vote on May 8, citing public-notice procedural defects rather than substantive constitutional flaws.

The order allows Alabama to revert to its 2023 map, previously struck down as a Section 2 violation, reducing Black-majority districts from two to one for the May 19 primaries. Justice Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, dissented, calling the timing 'inappropriate' and warning it 'will cause only confusion as Alabamians begin to vote.'
