Alabama’s Redistricting Case Back Before SCOTUS And Honestly This Should Be A Lay-Up

Alabama’s goals while still maintaining two majority-Black districts, as the Supreme Court suggested it should have, and “[i]t did not matter to the district court that drawing an additional race-based district came at the cost of sacrificing communities of interest and pairing incumbents.”

In short, Bowdre is begging the high court to make it make sense.
