Missing Alabama

  Once again, in a story in which I would have expected Alabama to be a focus, the state merits just  a single mention.

The story is in The Washington Post and bears this headline:

Black voting rights under threat in GOP supermajority states, lawmakers say

Black politicians and activists in the South say the Tennessee expulsions are just the tip of the iceberg in a region where White Republicans dominate state politics.

[edit}

The expulsions of Democratic state Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson from the Tennessee House by Republican leaders this month hit a nerve with Black politicians and activists across the South. Conservative White Republicans dominate state-level politics throughout the region, and they are often accused of wielding their power to suppress the will of Black voters, who overwhelmingly back Democrats.

The Alabama mention?

In addition to South Carolina, there are pending lawsuits accusing Republican lawmakers of illegally diluting Black voting power for congressional and state legislative seats in Arkansas, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida.
