Alabama Governor Calls Special Session to Redraw Congressional Maps
Gov. Kay Ivey on Friday called a special legislative session in Montgomery to reschedule Alabama’s midterm primaries and redraw the state’s U.S. House districts. The move follows the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling limiting the consideration of race in redistricting and aims to replace congressional maps that federal courts previously blocked. Republican leaders in the Legislature said the delay will give time to pass new maps; Alabama Democrats called the session costly and said it seeks to entrench Republican advantage. The session matters because it can change when Alabamians vote, reshape WHO represents Alabama’s seven U.S. House seats, and signal how other states will respond to the court ruling.
Tennessee is going into a special session next week, with the GOP planning to eliminate the majority-Black district anchored on Memphis. wpln.org/post/tenness...

Colin Jacobson15White Southerners getting to discriminate against Blacks is basically better than Christmas for them. 😑
demadalcielo.bsky.social8So many white evil people in the South. This is just sad.
Sinful. The republicans know the people are against their policies and the only way to win is to cheat
boatmatears.bsky.social5NJ is considering redistricting as well as all of the other Blue states. It’s a race to the bottom.
Eric D Mayhew5Might there be any strategic downside to this from a purely tactical angle like could it potentially dilute districts that are currently solidly red so they are plausibly flippable?

BREAKING: Gov. Kay Ivey has called a special session of the Alabama Legislature for Monday to change the May 19 primary should the U.S. Supreme Court lift an injunction against Alabama redistricting before 2030.
Brian Lyman18As of this writing, the U.S. Supreme Court has not ruled on Alabama's request to lift the injunction. This is an about-face for Ivey, who said on Wednesday she did not anticipate calling a special session.

demosthenes1959.bsky.social8It’s ironic that the southern states all are rapidly ending black congressional representation, isn’t it? It’s almost as if the 6 right wingers gutting the Voting Rights Act knew that this is exactly what they want.
audiogirl50.bsky.social3I’m not a lawyer but hoping this can be tied up in court and we get midterms done. This is so against the constitution.
Dan2I honestly can’t feel shocked. Their complaint lack of any focus on their own has led directly to this juncture. Maybe this is the wake-up they need. But I doubt it.

Mercurywoodrose (Antifa Science Officer, Division 23 Airborne)2That means for four generations these racist clan motherfuckers have been telling their kids that one day the south will rise again and the moment the Supreme Court throws out the civil rights act and the voting rights act you need to jump in there right away.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey asked legislators to reschedule the state's midterm primaries, in hopes that pushing those elections back will give them time to re-install congressional maps that had been previously blocked in court.
Cousin Herb6GOP Policy: If it ain’t broke, rig it until it is, then blame Dems.
