More than 100,000 Black voters in Mobile County would be placed in a new Second Congressional District under the ADC plan.
Updated:The Alabama Democratic Conference's proposed redistricting map will be similar to the one offered by Sen. Kirk Hatcher, D-Montgomery, over the summer, according to ADC Chairman Joe Reed.The Alabama Democratic Party’s Black caucus said it will propose a redistricting map next week that includes a new Second Congressional District with more Black voters than any of the three plans drawn up by a special master.
“We think the Alabama Democratic Conference plan is the best plan, and we’re going to be saying that to the court as well,” Reed told reporters in Montgomery. The ADC chairman said Allen’s three maps, which include Black voting populations close to 50 percent across the three maps, “falls short of the Constitution and it falls short of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act,” but did not elaborate on why the ADC holds that belief.“We’re confident that the Alabama Democratic Conference plan is the best plan on the market. And that’s because that’s the plan where a Black can win a congressional seat,” he said.
Under the ADC plan, more than 100,000 Black voters in Mobile County -- who currently vote in the First Congressional District -- would be part of a new Second Congressional District, which would be the state’s second majority-Black district along with the Birmingham- and Black Belt-based Seventh Congressional District.
