Alabama map struck down - again

[Nyvin]

However, the best possible map is still one with an entirely Black Belt-based district (that doesn't split either Mobile or Montgomery) and then a  Birmingham-based district with reasonable opportunity to elect the local Black community's candidate of choice.

Perhaps your argument would at least merit consideration if the Alabama state legislature had drawn a map like that (especially if they had done so originally back in 2010-11 when drawing up the original maps).

But they did not. Certainly not on the first go around, and also not even on this go around.

And I think we all know why.


In any case, I would suggest that Republicans ought to spend less time trying to figure out how to make Black people's votes not count, and instead spend that time trying to figure out how to appeal to Black voters and win their votes.

The maps are functionally identical to the 2000 maps.  Those that were drawn by Democrats.

Gee, it's almost like voting patterns can change in 20 years, who knew?

Again y'all are admitting the obvious.  Dems can't win the 2nd or 5th anymore. 

Like New York and now New Mexico ignore Bruen, Alabama should ignore this.

Black voters in Alabama can't control how white voters in Alabama vote....

If this is a lame attempt at the whataboutism argument of currently creating white access districts, I advise you to reread the Gingles test conditions.

Yeah, Alabama Republicans were secretly playing 5D Chess by passing the non-compliant map obviously.
