Democrats will be favored to win a new heavily Black congressional district and two Alabama Republicans could end up running against each other under the redistricting plan adopted Thursday by a panel of federal judges.

No, gerrymandering is always bad. This isn’t gerrymandering though.
Any place where the politicians decide their own electoral boundaries is gerrymandering in my opinion,
That was the case where I live, it changed to an independent body 25 years ago. The difference is night and day.
Before the change the conservatives held 66% of the state seats with only 39% of the vote. The conservatives were in power continuously for 30 years.
Good thing this was decided by the courts because the map chosen by Republican politicians disenfranchised people.
