WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Alabama’s new congressional map likely violated the Voting Rights Act, handing a win to black voters in a a closely watched case that will force the state to create a second House district with a large minority population.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh split from their conservative peers, joining the court’s three liberals in affirming 5-4 a lower court’s ruling that Alabama’s current district lines unlawfully diluted the state’s black vote.
