The team at the Princeton Gerrymandering Project also has data out for the proposed Alabama Congressional, State Senate, and State House maps.
Congressional: gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
Senate: gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
House: gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
For the Congressional map, we fined that it is likely to elect a 6R-1D delegation, the same as the current map.
That one D-district, AL-7, is also a black opportunity-to-elect district, though it far exceeds the 50% BVAP threshold required to make it effective.
For the State Senate, we believe it would elect 26R-9D senators.
It has two potentially competitive seats, both near Huntsville.
It has 8 districts with a BVAP over 50%.
The State House map would be expected to elect 78R-27D representatives. All of the Democrats would be elected from districts with a BVAP over 50%.
It has four competitive seats, one near Huntsville, one near Birmingham, one near Talladega, and one near Monroeville.
We should note that our data is based on unofficial @davesredist traces, which were provided to us. Until the official maps are released by the state of Alabama, these are the best we can do.
