Who, in their right mind, would ever draw Districts like this?
Seriously. What kind of criteria could you use that would render a shape like the orange one below?
I'll post the link in the remarks so you can check it out. It's the Alabama House 2021 map. Wait until you see this web page.

They are held every other Wednesday at 10AM (at where else? The Madison County Courthouse on the Courthouse Square) so they might be hard to attend for some folks.

Interesting monetary figures included in the story. For instance, it appears rookie Representative Shomari Figures brought more rural-projects money into the state than Senator (wannabe Governor) Tuberville.
