Not in Alabama.
Under the same standard:
AL: +1 dem
LA: +1 dem
SC: +1 dem
GA: +1 dem
per Dave Wasserman.
I wonder if NY, NJ, CA and other states will be under the same scrutiny?
The current black district in Alabama is in the center of the state from Montgomery to the Mississippi border. This is the heaviest black population. To create another district will really take some fancy gerrymandering. They may have to redo the current district and run another from Birmingham to Mobile. It should be interesting. It will make the other districts deeper red. I live in the current district.
Wasserman is very very good. Even so ... we can create district with significant numbers of rural blacks, with a good dollop of whites. Let’s say, 60 percent black, 40 percent white. We should be able to compete in these districts.
those 2 districts could be diluted.
God willing
