Why isn’t the state challenging this ruling?


SFP is did a good job describing the current legal situation BUT now there is a chance for another round of court battles. Since the map is so crazy, Graves (or some ally of his) will probably challenge and say the map is a racial gerrymander.

I think he will ultimately lose, but he might get a stay that prevents the new map from being in effect for the 2024 election.

I think the more realistic challenge is by the organizations supporting black voters b/c one of those districts isn't likely to produce black politicians. It's barely 51% of the district's population
