A child drew Alabama's state Senate maps.

Not really very shocking, because only people with the mindset of a child actually believe Alabama's voting districts were racially motivated, but here we are.

Earlier this year, U.S. District Judge Anna Manasco ordered Alabama lawmakers to redraw a new State Senate redistricting map for the 2026 election. Despite the court order, Gov. Kay Ivey opted not to call a special session of the legislature to consider a new map.

Manasco's order concurred with the left-wing plaintiffs suing the state, who claimed that State Senate Districts 25 and 26 held by State Sens. Will Barfoot (R-Pike Road) and Kirk Hatcher (D-Montgomery) violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

During an appearance on Thursday's broadcast of NewsNation's "The Hill with Blake Burman," the author of the Manasco-ordered map revealed himself to be 18-year-old University of Alabama student Daniel DiDonato, who originally hails from Seale and is a graduate of Russell County High School.

DiDonato said he submitted the map under his initials because he was still a minor at the time of his submission.
