*$%#^&$ to news stories about congressional redistricting that don’t bother to show the maps at issue.
I do not know my way around Alabama politics and redistricting issues, but I glanced at a map and I think the current 2nd and 6th districts look problematic. There are a couple of other oddities, but 2 and 6 have thin corridors connecting a larger and smaller block. Call them Adam Schiff districts: a pencil neck connecting a body and head.
I don’t know the ins and outs of those lines enough to comment, but they are visually suspect on the compactness and contiguity counts.
