Some of these breakthroughs were developed in Alabama. Others came from people in the state who went on to change their respective industries. Here are six inventions and innovations with Alabama connections that helped shape the world around us. 1.

The Map Was Supposed to Deliver. The Voters Did Not.

Alabama Republicans spent years litigating, redistricting, and assuring their base that Congressional District 2 could be engineered into a reliable Republican seat. After the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision cleared the way, the legislature moved quickly in a special session. The resulting map reduced the Black Voting Age Population in CD2 from roughly 47-48% to about 40% and was projected as a Trump +14 district. President Trump endorsed State Rep. Rhett Marques of Enterprise. National and state Republican groups spent millions. The race was widely treated as a pickup.
