Raging LibTargAlabama Lawmakers Refuse to Create 2nd Majority-Black Congressional District
tallwookiewhy do the Democrats want to redistrict? is it because they’re losing? some other reason?
Bluskale1/7 districts (14%) were majority black, but the population is 27% black. The argument was that the black voters were unfairly concentrated into one district and diluted into the other 6 so as to limit their effective representation in the government.
who forced them to live in that district? couldnt they just move? presumably they’d move somewhere else, not stay in Alabama
StoneykinsIf you suddenly got notified that the place you live has been redistricted to put you in a district which reduces your voting power, would you be ok with your “solution” of uprooting your entire life, changing jobs, finding a new place to stay, and re-registering to vote? Or would you maybe pursue a less completely-insane solution to the problem?
