re: Do Republicans dislike the Civil Rights Act

quote:

---

Generally the contempt for the civil rights act is the federal oversight of redistricting. This usually results in a state having to jump through nonsensical geographic hoops to carve out a district that will almost assuredly produce a minority representative. There are some crazy arse districts out there. Look at AL7 and tell me that aint some shite. It goes from Selma to downtown Birmingham. By way of Tuscaloosa.

That would be the Voting Rights Act.

And Repubs like those gerrymandered districts because when you draw them, the remaining districts are whiter and more Republican.
