House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., have been calling state legislators about the map, which could affect control of Congress.

The court can decide to hire an outside expert to redraw the maps if it agrees that the map is another racial gerrymander.
Yes, please. This should be automatic for any overly gerrymandered map. If the kids can’t figure their shit out, it’s time for the grownups to step in.
Maybe we could just… Not let Alabama participate in elections it won’t prepare for?
Ugh, it’s a bad idea, we don’t need to disenfranchise people for the states’ mistake. But ugh, would I like to have Alabama’s version of “present” not count towards the next bimbo peddling hamberders.
I’d like to believe that there will be serious repercussions, and that a fair map will be drawn in time for the election, but I don’t think either of those things will happen.
Edit: “in time” not “in Tim”. Sorry, Tim.
Don’t forget about Ohio, where our own state supreme court decided our map was unconstitutional 5 times in a row and then just sorta gave up.
