Hey John! Some big changes come in states with long-running gerrymandering problems. In North Carolina, with newly sworn-in justices, the state supreme court has controversially agreed to reconsider the Harper v. Hall ruling that struck down the legislature’s gerrymandered state senate map. Will the state’s court be as willing as its predecessors to enforce meaningful limits on gerrymandering?
Will you make a donation of $23 or more to support our work to protect fair maps in places like North Carolina and push back against gerrymandering?
BRENNAN CENTER REDISTRICTING ROUNDUP:
“The House majority Republicans won in 2022 is so slim that many are eyeing an epic rematch in 2024, but as the Brennan Center’s Michael Li points out in a new piece, 'There’s a big wild card in the mix: In a number of states, the maps used in 2022 may not be the ones used in 2024.’” |
As the Brennan Center noted, some states may also have to pass new maps depending on the results of federal lawsuits. In Alabama, a district court ruled that Alabama’s new congressional district map likely violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and diluted Black voting power. And now, the redrawing of the maps is currently on hold while the Supreme Court hears an appeal of the Merrill v. Milligan decision. Will the U.S. Supreme Court adopt a more restrictive interpretation of the VRA?
All On The Line and its affiliates support voters in states like North Carolina and Alabama in and outside the court to keep up the fight for fair maps and end gerrymandering.
