Quote
“A panel of three federal judges on Tuesday rejected Alabama’s latest version of its congressional district map, saying the Republican-led legislature did not follow a court order to comply with the Voting Rights Act when it redrew districts in July,” the Washington Post reports.

The judges said in the order that they are “deeply troubled that the State enacted a map that the State readily admits does not provide the remedy we said federal law requires.”

A special master to draw a new map has been appointed Smiley

A W for Alabama.

OR at least the voters in that state. I will trust the appointed master above the Alabama Legislature anytime, anywhere.

One other thing; given what’s happening here, in Florida, in Ohio, and in Wisconsin, maybe Democrats  flip the house just because of all of this or close. Even with North Carolina.
