Maybe just create a law that establishes a fair algorithm that can't be gamed, then we can stop all of this once of for all. Wouldn't that be nice...
This process sucks so much. It takes too long to churn through the courts, which disenfranchises people for possibly multiple elections. If the map designers faced criminal charges, this type of bad faith map drawing would be far less prevalent than it is, across the country.
What, again? After they ignored it the last time?
Contempt?
Nothing but.
So they did this, damage was done. 2 years later they will be forced to redraw, they will with same bias, benefit from diluted representation, then in 2 years get called out on it again. Rinse and repeat.
The courts should draw these district boundaries, not those people whose political career depend on it
Federal judges ruled Thursday that Alabama intentionally diluted the voting strength of Black residents when it drew congressional lines and said the state must continue using a court-ordered map that led to the election of the state’s second Black congressman.
People have advanced from not reading the article to not reading the excerpt in the post. Quite impressive really.
The courts need to dictate real fucking consequences for real people and organizations.
