- ‘Are they going to roll over?’: Gerrymandering fights reach state high courts
The Missouri Supreme Court upheld a GOP-supported congressional map, rejecting claims it violated the state constitution. Legal challenges to gerrymandering are shifting to state courts following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana vs. Callais, which weakened protections against racial gerrymandering. State courts in multiple jurisdictions may now determine the validity of new redistricting maps.
