One pollster believes most voters are confused by the ballot language, which was drafted by the Maryland Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court sent two redistricting cases out of Washington back to a lower court for new proceedings in light of its Louisiana v. Callais decision, which gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
A federal court dismissed a lawsuit challenging a gerrymandered map adopted by Tennessee Republicans that eliminated what was the state’s one Black-majority congressional district, based in Memphis.
President Donald Trump is annoyed with the U.S. Supreme Court again, this time for deciding to block a gerrymandered map in Missouri.
“People, not politicians, will be the final deciders on this DC power grab,” says group opposing Missouri Republican gerrymander.
The Court clarified one of its most controversial legal doctrines while inadvertently proving one of the primary criticisms of its “shadow docket” practices.
In an effort to protect the GOP’s gerrymander, Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins (R) argued that changing congressional maps after the primary would plunge the state into electoral chaos. The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a blunt response.
The U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed Friday that Missouri cannot use a gerrymandered congressional map for this year’s midterm elections, closing out a yearlong redistricting legal battle.
Secretary of State Denny Hoskins (R) deliberately delayed making a decision on whether the new map is subject to a referendum so the state could use the gerrymandered districts for the August primary.
Missouri referendum proponents made their final pitch to the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday, arguing that lower federal courts cannot sidestep the justices’ previous order halting use of the state’s Republican-drawn 2025 congressional map — especially now that voting is underway.
