So blacks can only be represented by blacks?

Are you righties on this thread really that ignorant of the requirements for representative congressional districts or the Voting Rights Act?

Jesus, such stupid fucking comments and questions. You’re all lucky voting doesn’t require a means test for you idiots.

I thought your kind liked the popular vote? What does it matter what district someone is in? A vote is a vote. The one with the most votes wins, right?

The Constitution requires districts, but it is popular vote... within districts as set out by the founding fathers.

That's not the way it works with gerrymandering. The one with the most votes doesn't win because the party with fewer votes has gamed the system so that the one with the most votes can't win in the state.

The idiot, whose posts I haven't seen in years, doesn't understand the nature of House districts and localized voting.

No this is what you said:

"That's not the way it works with gerrymandering. The one with the most votes doesn't win because the party with fewer votes has gamed the system so that the one with the most votes can't win in the state."

Where does it say, "...not every vote counts the same"?

Where does it say that it prevents votes from being counted?
It seems your argument is ridiculous since you want to argue that it must specifically say something or it doesn't exist.

I hope Alabama can finally get rid of Tuberville, when he comes up for re-election too?!!

They won’t get rid of him, too good of a football coach
 
I hope Alabama refuses again, it will give the Supreme Court to show Alabama who controls on this issue.

ROFL.......I Love watching you hypocrites jump to partisanship when you're put on the defensive.

Stupid fuck. Alabama is the one on the defensive and in violation of redistricting laws. And you dumbfuck righties can’t seem to grasp that fact.

This isn’t an issue about simple gerrymandering. Courts generally stay away from that. This is a racial issue and a Voting Rights Act issue.

In Colorado they created districts that cut out strong republican areas, put them together in oddly shaped districts gerrymandered to build districts that would no longer be contested but would be sure victories for the democrats. This had a combined effect in that it created rural districts that have fewer representatives than they had before when there were more fairly structured districts, and they got a majority in both houses of the legislature for the past two elections after their gerrymandering. This created fewer districts with votes that would go like 75% for republicans, as they carefully cut them out of districts where they were often winning by close votes 52% to 48% and the like and gaining one or the other house of the legislature....

What the courts are enforcing is to have Alabama create carefully structured districts that will ensure that there are two districts with majority black voters. The courts are carefully creating oddly shaped districts to give one historically underrepresented group an advantage in more than one district, while Alabama was demanding that the district they constructed that ensured one district only was the way to go. The SCOTUS, largely made up of conservatives, decided against Alabama in this case.
