Supreme Court orders voting maps redrawn in Alabama

Yes, you are laughable. With all due respect.

 

Sick burn grandpa

 

Just another Trump cultist. Happy wife, happy life.

 

Serious...

 

Glad you can feel it.

 

Thats a hopeful sign.

 

The practical outcome of this ruling. Should not be like this in a democracy with fair representation.

 

Be interesting to see what 538 comes up with.
Hey! They think it could lead to flipping the House to the Democrats. Here's a start:

The Supreme Court's New Ruling Could Help Democrats Flip The House In 2024
By Nathaniel Rakich

JUN. 8, 2023, AT 3:20 PM



The Supreme Court just handed Democrats a massive victory in their quest to retake the House of Representatives in 2024. In a 5-4 decision that was as surprising as it was consequential, the high court agreed with a lower court’s ruling that the Voting Rights Act requires Alabama to draw a second predominantly Black congressional district.

Not only does that mean Democrats will very likely gain a seat in Alabama next year, but the decision will probably also force other states to redraw their congressional maps as well. And with Democrats needing to flip only five House seats in 2024 to win the majority, this decision could be the difference between Republican and Democratic control of the House.

Currently, Alabama has six majority-white congressional districts and one majority-Black congressional district. Because white voters in the South are heavily Republican and Black voters are heavily Democratic, in practice this means the state is virtually guaranteed to elect six Republicans and one Democrat.

This is the best political news I’ve heard in a really long time

 

I don’t know if this means Democrats could flip the house as the new districts might be more
Purple than blue or red.

I would settle for having less MAGA republicans in Congress though.

 

Better late than never but I just find it stupid that they allow the previous election to b done on a rigged map b4 striking it down.

 

Hell, I just want a fair and balanced process......may the best person win, but it has to be fair to everyone

 

Like Texas, Its all about gerrymandering the districts for the White Voter count

Texas gains two seats in the House after adding 4 million residents in 10 years, as recorded in the 2020 census. Although White Texans represented just 5% of that new growth, the new map adds three districts where White residents represent a majority. Hispanic Texans contributed to half of that population growth, but the new map maintains the same number of Hispanic-majority districts at 10.

Non-Hispanic White people make up 40% of the Texas population and Hispanic people make up 39% — nearly equal. Under the new map, however, 42% of districts are White-majority and Hispanic residents represent the majority in 26% of districts.

It’s the GOP’s only real ‘competitive’ edge. Instead of changing with the people and picking up non-white conservative voters, they continue to push older rhetoric and gerrymander. Long term it’s a losing proposition, which is why we see the rise of more and more fascist ideals on the right. They know the flip is coming and they’re desperate to retain power.
