Alabama Lawmakers Refuse to Create 2nd Majority-Black Congressional District

  • why do the Democrats want to redistrict? is it because they're losing? some other reason?

  • yes the graphics are very shocking, to be sure - why is it only limited to 44 years though? do records not extend back further than that? I seem to remember reading somewhere that there's climate records from as early as the 1880s but maybe that was in England only.

    though, even 44 years, while easily half of a human's lifetime, it's just a tiny blip on a geologic time scale.

  • regardless, it's the law. if you want it changed, move to Nebraska, get residency, start a grassroots campaign, get elected to State government, and draft a bill into law.

    you're free to do that, after all - self government is one of our many freedoms. many other countries don't allow people to do anything about how the government works.
