Unable to take a hint, Alabama's congressional districts have once again been turned down by the nation's highest court. The Supreme Court, looking for a more balanced, maybe even diverse approach to district maps, has continued its left swipe-trend on Alabama’s GOP-drawn maps. Seemingly determined to be stuck in a “Bandersnatch” loop of rejection, Alabama’s mapmakers had bet all their likes on their latest map. Unfortunately for them, the Supreme Court didn't find it as attractive as they had thought. The audacious redesign was revealed to still lack a key characteristic the Supreme court is looking for: a second majority-Black district. You’d think they’d try giving subtle a shot by maybe NOT diluting the power of Black voters. Parading their rejection letter for the world to see, the Supreme Court is enabling a court-appointed official to not only draw the lines for the 2024 election but potentially find the map a new match in the process. The Supreme Court, like anyone on a dignity-preserving gallery of potential suitors (read: ‘tinder’), keeps swiping left on Alabama GOP’s map profile. And yet Alabama continues its push, its confidence unshaken, greenlighting new maps that inexplicably don't meet the pre-established criteria. But do not despair, Alabama. We've all been there, waiting patiently for that one right swipe. Considering that broader acceptance is trending, maybe you could try a makeover? Add some diversity, give a bit more representation, and ensure fairness for all voters. Who knows, you might even find more takers in the Supreme Court after all. For now, it seems that until Alabama introduces some enticing changes to its electoral districts, it is doomed to repeat the cycle of hope and rejection. Here's to hoping that Alabama eventually learns, success in politics – much like the dating world – often involves compromise and the courage to change.
