The Supreme Court Just Ruled Against North Carolina On Gerrymandered Districts Again
North Carolina Republicans Just Lost Another Gerrymandering Case At Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court on Monday dealt another blow to North Carolina Republicans and their effort to gerrymander state legislative districts.
The Court unanimously upheld a lower court’s ruling to throw out the state’s legislative districts.
The decision re-affirms a three-judge panel’s ruling last year that 28 state legislative districts were drawn improperly because legislators considered race in the crafting of new lines in 2011.
North Carolina v. Covington, is one of several challenges to the Republican-drawn district lines in North Carolina that working their way through the courts.
In a separate case last month, the Supreme Court ruled last month that Republican legislators had improperly considered race when drawing congressional district lines in 2011.
