Alabama held onto its congressional seats when Census numbers came out Monday, staving off a potential Survivor -like contest among the state’s U.S. House delegation. But when redistricting begins later this year, there could be a push to draw a second majority-minority district for the congressional delegation.  It is a long shot for Democrats who could watch redistricting from the sidelines, and unlikely to appeal to Republicans with a shot at recapturing the U.S. House of Representatives next year. But it is something the state party says it will push for, possibly to federal court.  “It’s not representative and it’s a direct result of political gerrymandering,” said Wade Perry, the executive director of the Alabama Democratic Party. “I don’t know if a second majority-minority district is possible. (But) I think more than one congressional district should be competitive.”
