Oh goodie. They’re going to run out the clock again with a series of wrong maps. If Southerners can’t handle simple map making, perhaps some Federal oversight can accomplish it quicker. [/quote]
The Supreme Court of the United States, the ultimate in federal oversight, told them to draw two majority Black districts and they still couldn’t manage to do it. [/quote]
They can manage to do it, they just don’t want Black people to have any representation, so they’re not going to do it. This will go like the other states with maps that were ruled illegal. They make a white supremacist version, it gets challenged, it loses, they make another white supremacist version, it gets challenged, it loses, etc etc until, oh no, they just have to have people starting voting in one of the white supremacist maps. Shrug, right? White power preserved for another day. [/quote]
+1 Elsewhere in Alabama…

Update: “The Black mayor of Newbern, Alabama will finally lead his town after being blocked from entering office by his white predecessors, pending a signature from a federal judge on a settlement agreement both parties reached last week.

The settlement declares Patrick Braxton as the “lawful mayor of Newbern,” and grants him all the powers, duties, privileges and “all other rights enjoyed by prior mayors and entrusted to the mayor of Newbern under Alabama state law.”

There are SO many reasons, like this powerful one here and some of the others cited in this thread.   I hope the OP has the rationale now.  Protection of voter rights and our entire system of elections is very much needed.[/quote]
OP came back a few months ago and said he hadn’t bothered to read any links, there was all just too much. I forget the rest of his moronic, mealy mouthed reply but in short: he’s learned nothing and he’s not proud of that, but he’s also not fixing that. I believe he said he avoided even reading this thread when it was bumped.

Ladies and gentlemen, the GOP. [/quote]
