Title: Hypothetical 8 District Alabama Post by: America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS on January 03, 2019, 02:32:02 PM here (https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1atH86ZgV2r-t2tUcRQZuIypY1oeFkeZCwA-T8h8G)
There are 2 VRA Districts, both are Safe Democratic (numbered as the 2nd and 5th). The other 6 are Safe Republican. The only County split is in Jefferson County, which is inevitable due to its high population, and while I could have placed a District entirely inside its borders, I decided against it in favor of creating a 2nd VRA District. Note that Roy Moore managed to lose the 8th District by a few thousand votes, and he only won the 1st District by a few hundred votes.
