Efforts to consolidate the Black vote here were frustrated, handing the Democratic nomination to a white party insiderA major plot line of the hyper-partisan, mid-decade redistricting arms races – launched at the urging of Donald Trump – has been the elimination of traditionally Black congressional seats in the south.
