    Nope. Supreme Court just told Alabama to fuck off for these same shenanigans.

      And Alabama will draw worse maps, then when those are thrown out for being obviously worse they’ll say they have to use the original maps because there’s no time to draw new ones. This ain’t our first rodeo.

        I think someone saw this coming, because an independent group was commissioned by the judge to make a new, equitable map, not the legislature.

        I had thought along those lines. Fuck it up for now, win the election, go from there.

        Liberals have a bad habit of thinking like themselves. “What would be fair?” Nah. Think like the opposition, “How can we fuck this up in our favor?”
