Marc Elias has litigated more election and voting cases than most of us can keep track of.
He says the state of Alabama has been given the opportunity to draw a compliant map, a map that creates two , rather than one majority-Black district.
Elias: If anyone thought the days of states like Alabama just openly defying court orders were behind us, they're wrong.
In 1965 , we had to make sure that minorities are not always on the losing end of voting laws and redistricting laws.
With partisanship and the polarization of the electorate combined with computer technology, artificial intelligence, big data, all of that, people are able now to draw maps that will perform in favor of one party or the other, basically 100 percent of the time.
