federal court s objective. one reinforced in june by the supreme court, that it should include two districts with a black voting age majority or something quite close to it when it redraws its lines. as politico reported, over the unified objections of democrats, instead it came up with a map that fell short of that, with one narrowly black majority district in one of the black voting age population of just under 40%. in response, democratic state representative chris england, a member of the redistricting committee said, alabama does, what alabama does. ultimately what we are hoping, for i guess, at some point is that the federal court does what it always does to alabama. forces us to do the right thing. courts always have to come in and save us from ourselves. the fight over whether alabama s new congressional map complies with the voting rights act of 1965 now shifts back to federal courts. republicans have to submit this plan to the same three judge

primary contest, some prominent democrats including aoc and adam schiff are aggressively pushing to lower the voting age. earlier this year new york congresswoman grace may reintroduced legislation that would change the voting age to just 16 saying, quote, 16 and 17-year-olds are legally permitted to work, drive, and they also pay federal income taxes. they are contributing members of our society, and i believe it is right and fair to allow them to vote in our elections. here to react, host of the spillover podcast and turning point usa contributor alex clark, recent grad and former chairman of the gw college republicans, former president of gw for israel, ezra mayer, gen-z voter and staff writer or and social chair for the chicago thinker, georgia kneel jackson. it s good to see you all this morning. alex, i ll start with you. as politically-minded and intelligent as you are, tell us what you were doing at 16 years old and if you felt mature
