    Sounds like the exact same thing the supreme court told them to do a month ago and they said “nah”. What’s to stop the blight of democracy from just not doing it again?

      They can’t use the fall back method where they use their old rigged maps because a new one wasn’t approved. The article said they are having an outside firm make three maps and a panel of 3 judges will pick one of them. Alabama will contest it but the court will uphold the new map and voting will be done with the judge appointed map.

      Federal judges then instructed outside experts to draft new lines – a move that Alabama officials unsuccessfully appealed to the Supreme Court.
