CNN: Supreme Court allows most disputed maps in Texas, NC gerrymandering cases to be used
In an unsigned order Monday, the court wiped away a lower court opinion that had invalidated congressional maps in North Carolina as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander and instructed the lower court to revisit the case in light of the Supreme Court’s recent opinion concerning maps in Wisconsin. …
Challengers to the North Carolina had hoped the court would take up their case and hear it next term.
“Justice delayed is justice denied,” said Common Cause executive director Bob Phillips, “however, we are confident that we have standing to be able to make our way back to the Supreme Court so that the Justices may draw a clear line against partisan political gerrymanders that leave too many Americans without fair representation.”
