The catch, of course, is that the current AL-7 doesn't meet that standard either--you'd never draw the Black Belt to downtown Birmingham CD (or Mobile for that matter, as in the case of the demonstration map). — PolitiTweet.org

The 'compactness' standard in Gingles has always been poorly defined. The AL application is arguing for a higher standard for compactness--something in-line with the standard for compactness that exists in non-VRA districts (COI, geographic regions, crossing jurisdictional lines) — PolitiTweet.org

So this is a really high-stakes case--and although the court may protect the GOP against the downside risks, the AL argument actually does create some severe downside risks for the GOP elsewhere, especially in metropolitan TX/GA — PolitiTweet.org
