This is what needs to happen everywhere. If a map is rejected there needs to be a replacement map all ready to go, so when the GOP sits on their ass and decides not to do anything about it the courts can say "Boom bitch here's your map".

Remove all the polling locations except for one in the basement of a flooded library.

Yep. Years ago they passed a voter ID law then closed half the locations (all in poor and black neighborhoods) where you could the ID. Despite having passed a bond issue the previous year to fund license offices.

Exactly. I'm glad they didn't let the Alabama legislature get away with stalling indefinitely. That's how these types of cases should be handled.

There should be more cracking down on gerrymandering.

Yes, I used the word cracking on purpose.

Never underestimate the lengths the GOP will go to to prevent the "wrong" people from voting.

Yeah, the old playbook is full of tricks like raising/changing ID requirements (annually, if possible), closing/moving polling places annually, steep absentee ballot requirements and all sorts of fuckery. Gerrymandering is just one facet of the approach.

That's easily countered by simply being willing to go through them or getting enough people together to run them off. Those types are almost always cowards who flee the instant you confront them. If they decide to get violent over it, that knife cuts both ways as well.

Physical obstacles aren't near as much of a problem as systemic ones. Voter ID laws, closing polling places, making it nigh on impossible to vote absentee are the ones that do the most damage.

Theyll have one of their own run as a Democrat in the new district so if they win they will immediately change to Republican once theyre sworn in.

Not just rejecting it, but bringing consequences on those who draw up the gerrymandered maps.

Enough fling shit endlessly at walls and eventually something sticks, people need to be punished for even trying.

That's too liberal from them these days. They'd abolish elections if they could get away with it.
