A federal court on Thursday approved a new congressional map in Alabama that significantly boosts the Black population of a second district and could represent a pickup opportunity for Democrats in next year’s elections.
In a statement, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen, a Republican, said the state would comply with the court’s preliminary injunction to administer the fast-approaching 2024 elections “in accordance with the map the federal court has forced upon Alabama.” Candidates face a November 10 deadline to qualify for Alabama’s March 5 primary elections.
But Allen said the state would continue its legal fight against the map’s use in future elections when judges conduct a full hearing on the underlying merits of the case.
They already tried that tactic. They also ignored the order. They literally said “thanks for your opinion but no.” This happened because of that “opinion.” I have no doubt the corrupt right-wing fuckers that run my state will weasel out of this somehow.
How long before Republicans ignore the map.
Action speaks louder than words. And I don’t believe anything a Republican says.
