    Racial gerrymandering MARK F. BERNSTEIN 'HEN the 102nd Gongress convened in January 1991w, the Georgia House delegation was T THEN comprised of nine Democrats and one Republican—Newt Gingrich. Eight of the Democrats were white (as, of course, is the Republican) and one was black. But more than a quarter of Georgia's citizens are black, and, in order to comply with the Voting Rights Act following the 1990 census, two more black-majority districts had to be drawn. Finding blacks around whom to draw those districts proved challenging. But, under pressure from the U.S. Justice De- partment, the legislature adopted what was known as the "max- black" plan, which stretched the new Eleventh District for 260 miles, snaking block by block through neighborhoods from Atlanta to Savannah in order to collect enough blacks to form a majority. Just over four years later. Newt Gingrich is Speaker of the House, and the only Democrats in the state's delega- tion are the three representing the black-majority districts. All the other Georgia congressmen are white Republicans. If Georgia is the most extreme example of Democratic de- 59 60 THE PUBLIC INTEREST / WINTER 1996 cline following the creation of black-majority districts, it is by no means the only one. Within the last four years, while the Democratic share of the southern black vote has increased to a near-unanimous 91 percent, its share of the white vote has declined to just 35 percent, which has cost the party seats in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, North Garolina, and South Garolina.

  • Mccain and Obama Could Both Help Alabama Congressional Candidates
    al.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 1 of 2 McCain and Obama could both help Alabama congressional candidates Sunday, November 02, 2008 By BRIAN LYMAN Capital Bureau MONTGOMERY - Alabama will probably go for John McCain in Tuesday's presidential election, observers say, but Barack Obama's presence on the ballot might help Democrats in three competitive congressional races. Reflecting the unusual dynamics of the national race this year, experts say both candidates could have coattails for down-ballot nominees. Observers say McCain's likely landslide in Alabama will help Republicans, but that increased registration among Democratic-leaning black voters should aid Democrats on the ticket. A SurveyUSA poll published Oct. 29 showed McCain leading in Alabama 61 percent to 39 percent. "In a presidential election, Republican voters are going to come out and vote anyway," said Bruce Oppenheimer, a political science professor at Vanderbilt University. "Even if not enthused, they're going to come out and vote. "(But) there's a clear feeling nationally that ironically, Obama may be helping (Democratic) candidates," even if Obama loses the state to McCain, Oppenheimer said. In north Alabama's 5th Congressional District, Democrat Bud Cramer is retiring. State Sen. Parker Griffith, D-Huntsville, is squaring off against Republican Wayne Parker. Meanwhile, Democrat Bobby Bright, the mayor of Montgomery, is running neck-and-neck with Republican state Rep. Jay Love of Montgomery to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Terry Everett, a Republican, in the 2nd Congressional District, a GOP stronghold since 1964. Montgomery attorney Joshua Segall, a Democrat, is also mounting a campaign against U.S.

RACIAL GERRYMANDERING AND REPUBLICAN GAINS IN SOUTHERN HOUSE ELECTIONS Dona!,dBeachler, Ithaca College Introduction During the 1980s, southern House elections were characterized by two important results. 1 First , the Republican party made no net gains in southern House seats over the course of the decade. In the 1980s Democrats dominated congressional and state politics in the South by constructing bi-racial coalitions. Southern Democratic nominees were moderate enough to win white votes which, when combined with overwhelming African-American majorities , produced electoral success in many cases. 2 The failure to gain seats in the South, a region where the GOP had dominated presidential politics in most elections since 1972, 3 was a major reason Republicans failed in their drive to gain a majority in the House of Representatives during the Reagan-Bush years. However, the House elections of 1992 and 1994 proved a boon to southern Republicans as they gained nine southern House seats in the election of 1992 and an additional 16 seats in 1994.
