If a minority population is evenly-distributed throughout the State
It’s not in Alabama. The one majority black district has around 50% of Alabama’s black population in it. It’s pretty clear what state lawmakers did because they didn’t want it lose an R seat, and there are still portions of the VRA intact. Alabama republicans should have been smarter with how they drew the districts, but Alabama gonna Alabama.

Nevermind I read the comment wrong.
The districts were exactly the same as they were in 2010. They didn't change them to any substantial degree.
To comply with this ruling, the black vote in Alabama will have to be diluted.
