This message includes whole county districts and a minority district in the Black Belt. The Jefferson County district should be competitive.
An advantage of the current map is that by extending up through Tuscaloosa and into Birmingham, is that it lets the southeastern district extend westward. The loss of the 7th district in 2020 will eliminate that problem, and also could permit a no split counties plan.
A different way of scoring the plans would let Alabamians rank the plans based on which district they would be placed in. That is rather than judging the whole map, they would only look at their self interest.
Their ranking of their districts would be their ranking of the overall plan. The final plan would be chosen by Condorcet.
