Alabama Congressional Redistricting Case Moves Quickly

A three-judge U.S. District Court will hold a hearing in Singleton v Allen, n.d., 2:21cv-1291, on Monday, July 31. This is the case over Alabama U.S. House district boundaries. The Alabama legislature recently enacted a new plan, but only one of the seven U.S. House districts has a Black majority. The legislature appears to have flouted the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion in Singleton v Allen, issued last month.

Here is the plaintiffs’ brief, explaining why the state’s new plan still violates the Voting Rights Act.

  1. Hopefully the legislature will stay strong and not bow to the carpetbaggers. The federal interference must be resisted, much as in the days of yore, until the invaders are driven from our ancestral land and forced to pay for all the property they took from our families, with all accumulated compound interest.

  2. Brown vs. Board of Education said that you could not assign black students to black schools and white students to white schools. Subsequent cases ruled that you could not create attendance zones that had the same effect, exploiting residential segregation patterns.

    But in case of election districts we are told that voters must be assigned to districts on the basis of race and carefully titrate the number to achieve specific results.

  3. Alabama can try to resolve this issue by having multi-member districts. With 7 seats, one or two districts would work. This will give both the White majority and the Black minority an opportunity to decide the outcome of the election. (not saying that a race of people all vote the same way!)

    Carl, if by “property” you mean slaves, compensation for that is not acceptable anymore. If you mean stuff like land etc., there were people before you who could make the same claim. Not saying the North is innocent… I gotta learn more about this.

    MYSTIFICATION / SUBVERSION OF 15 AMDT — ONLY ABOUT DEFINITION OF ELECTOR [IN NEGATIVE LANGUAGE]

    NO GUARANTEE THAT ANY RACE, COLOR, OR EX-SLAVE GANG ELECTS ANYBODY – FROM PREZ TO LOCAL DOG CATCHER.

    ALONG WITH GERRYMANDER SUBVERSION SINCE 1964 — 59 YEARS

  7. USA PENSIONS FOR MAIMED UNION SOLDIERS [NO EYES / HANDS / ETC] AND WAR WIDOWS TO 1950S.

    NOT SURE IF PENSIONS WERE MORE THAN THE IMMEDIATE UNION COSTS IN 1861-1865.

  8. Adam, your 21st century sensibilities about the wrongness of slavery are besides the point. Slaves were legally held property and their seizure should have been compensated, which would have cost less than the war. That’s how slavery was ended in every other nation of north and south America without war, except in Haiti where all Whites were massacred. The failure to properly compensate property owners at the time doesn’t erase the obligation to their heirs. If in 2063 President Chevrolet decides that farm animals can no longer be grown for meat or held against their will, farmers will need to be compensated for the loss. The same principles still apply.

    You make a good point about compensation of Indian tribes. They ought to be compensated for the value of the largely undeveloped land that was seized from them. A much higher value of subsequently developed land was laid waste by marauding Yankee invaders. That should also be compensated, along with the seizure of slaves. Several Indian tribes fought on the Confederate side, and held black slaves. The last black slaves, aside from convicts, were freed by their Amer5 Indian masters in 1867. Those tribes should be compensated for the seizure of their Negro property, as well.

  9. Why should blacks be entitled to districts? Should Catholics, midgets, left handed people, etc be entitled to districts? Why should the federal government have any say at all in how any state selects its representation in congress?

  10. SORRY – NO RIGGED DISTRICTS WITH 1 VOTER ONLY.


    SEE ADVANCED ROT IN 1961-1962 RIGGED GERRYMANDER ELECTIONS.

  11. King Charles should have his stolen American colonies returned to him along with an apology and a suitable quantity of tobacco.
