My favorite part of this is the supporters of this map saying it was based on politics and not race. They said that the fact it would screw GG after he supported Wags over Napoleon was evidence that it was based on politics. Like that makes it a good thing? I get that racial gerrymandering may be seen as illegal depending on what court and what day it is, while petty political revenge as a motive isn’t illegal. However, doesn’t that just make Landry and the drafters of this map look small and petty? Just thought it was a strange argument.

They made Alabama draw a 2nd majority Black district.

As a result, they actually split Mobile County into 2 districts.
