By the traditional standards of compactness, there should pretty clearly be additional minority-majority CDs in Cobb County and DFW, for example. The arguments the GOP is putting forward in Alabama would clearly argue for some additional minority-majority CDs there — PolitiTweet.org

Whatever you think of the status quo, the more ambiguous interpretation of compactness in Gingles to this point does make it somewhat easier for the GOP to justify something like the old TX-33 (or its current equivalent which i haven't committed to memory yet) — PolitiTweet.org
