#AlabamasGottenMeSoUpset: Many of the remarkable achievements of the #CivilRights movement were forged in Alabama. Yet today, the #whitesupermajorities that control both houses of Alabama’s #legislature, along with Alabama’s white republican #governor, Kay Ivey, continue to #disenfranchise #Blackvoters.

He wrote the question is whether the #VotingRightsAct “requires…#Alabama to intentionally redraw its longstanding congressional districts so that #blackvoters can control a number of seats roughly proportional to the black share of the State’s population.” He said the law “demands no such thing & if it did the Constitution would not permit it”

#VotingRights advocates had feared the decision would undermine the #VotingRightsAct, which instead appeared to emerge unscathed.
The #SupremeCourt has made several rulings recently that have eroded the force of the #VRA & the achievements of the #CivilRights movement.

@david_darmofal I couldn't have said it better. Thank you for reminding folks who the base of the Dem party is. And it's time people recognize and acknowledge that fact.

Thousands of Black slaves “supported” the Confederacy’s war effort. They were forced; they had no choice.
Today, millions of Black Americans are proud Republicans. They’re free to choose; they have no excuse.

I agree with this summarization and, all things considered, I don't think we are asking for anything over the top.

“Eligible #BlackVoters tend to skew younger than other parts of the American electorate. If future elections are to be heavily influenced by the youth vote, as is predicted, young Black citizens will play a defining role.“
