Federal court once again finds Alabama’s 2023 map violates the VRA.

The 2020 redistricting cycle in Alabama — the first cycle in 50 years that Alabama has been free of the strictures of federal preclearance — did not have to turn out this way. We wish it had not, but we have eyes to see the veritable mountain of evidence that it did.

We need to give statehood to PR and DC and pass another voting rights act by gutting the filibuster in 2028. Enough of the structural GOP advantage in all elections. They're against Democracy itself. Democrats need to realise that we will not return to the 1970s or even the 1990s anymore. The nation cannot be united because half of Trump's supporters are total freaks who hate Judges, the rule of law and term limits as they acknowledge in many issue polls. Everybody knew this in 2016 too, Hillary didn't have to say it out loud though.
