SCOTUS rules in favor of independent redistricting
#9
I also would like to see gerrymandering go away, but could someone explain how this goes to the SC? Maybe it's different, but 10 or so years ago, NJ senator Torricelli was forced to drop out of the race, but it was past the date when someone new could be added. Their SC Court just ignored that, and said it wasn't fair. They took it to the SC, and the court refused to hear it, (including the conservatives although reversing would have meant a Republican win) because election laws were up to the states. (Except President because it's a national election.)
