    Looks like federal judges are going to appoint a neutral third party to redraw the district’s this time, they’ve learned that trick.

    Of course, Alabama is appealing to the supreme court, and we know which way they lean, so.

      Mentioned this elsewhere, but SCOTUS is the one who threw out the original map. AL is essentially defying SCOTUS here and so I doubt they’ll be friendly to the cause.

      At the same time, it was the supreme court that actually ruled their maps illegal. I could totally see them saying “oh good you raised the effective black population from 30-40% that’s good enough,” but it doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility for them to kick Alabama out again.
