Alabama, one of the most RACIST state in the union with one of the most RACIST governor, Ivey, are soooo afraid of Black people doing the RIGHT thing to vote them out that they will throw a KKK party at the governors mansion in broad daylight.
Send these idiots to JAIL!
I think we just need to be happy ,that americans let black vote at all.
You should see the circus in Arizona, where the gerrymandering funnels all the Hispanics into one district…. Sure the Dem candidate wins 4ever, but the other districts get drawn red, and they think we don't notice… And then the GOP has the nerve to say they like Blacks & Hispanics…. Haha…
Republicans DO NOT CARE about your Constitutional Rights.
NEVER reward a Republican with your vote.
I am so tired of the 'only I can win' mentality of the insane right fringe
Fair would be to use geographical lines, like county, city, township lines as well as physical barriers like mountains and rivers. Who is voting should not matter.
These reporters know what Joe Biden is doing to this country, including their families. But they don't seem to care.
Blm/antifa defied every court in the land so what's the problem?
This not following the courts order needs to be addressed. They are taking voting righs way from the people.
I’ve got an idea 💡 the DOJ should file an injunction on Alabama to halt all federal aid being sent to them until they comply with the order that the SOCTUS issued . This boils down to 74 billion or $2.19 back for every dollar paid to the government. One of the highest paybacks in the country per dollar sent
Maybe they’ll think twice before trying to independently make their own rules
Reminds me of George Wallace during his 1963 inauguration as governor of Alabama when he stood at the state capitol and shouted: "Segregation now! Segregation tomorrow! Segregation forever!"
Okay time for me to start pulling some of my money out of Alabama. White Christian conservatives can do this but they're not going to do it with my money. Give that message to your chamber of commerce.
No surprise. GOP has gone completely off the rails. Crazy Racist Insurrectionists have taken over the party. Time to vote for someone else.
GREAT! STATE LEGISTLATURE DRAW DISTRICT MAPS, RUN AND CERTIFY ELECTIONS!
NOT COURTS!
Wait, when did we allow black people to vote?
I believe if Alabama keeps defying the supreme court, the supreme court should say Alabama’s state votes. Do not count for anybody.
Wow, Alabama loved when the Supreme Court sent the abortion rights back to the state. Now the state just gave the middle finger to the courts to redraw the maps.. all hand maids get your red hats out, Gilead is here starting in Fl and rolling out all through the south.
Because the head of the fascist party did not obey the law they think they do not have to.
We shouldn't be drawing districts based on skin color.
The GOP respects the rule of law only when it is in their favor.
It's one of the most RACIST states in the country. It's a backwards welfare state where the Klan openly operates. Only white trash wants to live there. Are you really surprised the American Fascist Party is trying this?
Ah, the fascist state of Alabadmaw, prepare because fascist publicans are not going to play fair.
SUDDENLY Alabama Republicans find the Supreme Court illegitimate. 😂
Sounds very racial to me when gop wanna stop or hinder black voters from turning red to blue!! I sure hope the feds are keeping a good eye on those who want to stop voter's rights and democracy!!!
More Insurgency and insurrection!?
Interesting that these voting rights violations are all in states controlled by Republicans.
What a gross country
Party of law and order my friends lolol
We’re not gonna be bullied by blacks
Treasonous Republican Party is. Greatest threat to America and. Humanity. Deplorable. C. U. L. T.
If Alabama allows to ignore the Supreme Court ruling, then any state can choose to ignore its recent affirmative action ruling.
