Alabama Lawmakers Refuse to Create 2nd Majority-Black Congressional District - Lemmy.world
why do the Democrats want to redistrict? is it because they’re losing? some other reason?
1/7 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
