Update: 2025-11-30
Description
An eighteen-year-old college student, Daniel DiDonato, created a new state senate map for Alabama, which was chosen by a federal judge over a map drawn by a court-appointed expert. Daniels map, submitted anonymously as DD, fixed a Voting Rights Act violation with minimal changes, altering only two districts. This marks a significant shift in redistricting, as accessible data and software allow anyone to participate, fostering an online community of political and mapping enthusiasts.
