Pringle argued the plan "maintains, basically, the core of the existing districts.”
Featured Opinion
Fairness and equal rights apparently play no role in the redistricting process, as far as Republicans are concerned.
Featured Opinion
Alabama Republicans are likely to lose a congressional district, because they've spent decades leaning into racism.

Committee members expressed frustration over holding a public hearing without the map or maps Republican leadership would push forward.
Opinion
Changes are coming. But those changes shouldn’t come at the expense of the people of Gadsden and Etowah County.
Special Session
Roughly 80 maps were sent to the committee. But the majority of those maps will not be considered.
Featured Opinion
Gerrymandering has completely dismantled the political process in this state. And we're all suffering because of it.
Special Session
Several maps were suggested during the first hearing on the process, but it is unclear what direction lawmakers are leaning.
