Alabama is having a do-over because the map wasn't 'red' enough

Original version ·

Apparently, the first time wasn't the charm, so voters get to head back to the polls.

So, Alabama decided their original congressional map just wasn't quite doing it for them. After a bit of creative drawing to make sure the districts lean heavily toward the Republican Party, they are forcing everyone to vote all over again.

The result? A massive headache for voters who have no idea who they are actually voting for anymore. The entire process is just a game of musical chairs where the board gets tilted until the outcome is guaranteed.

Democracy is apparently just a series of redo buttons until you get the result you wanted in the first place.
