SCOTUS takes up gerrymandering cases from MD & NC

'The court will hear oral arguments in both cases in March, with rulings due by the end of June.
In the North Carolina case being taken up by the justices, Democratic voters accused North Carolina’s Republican-led legislature of drawing U.S. House of Representatives districts in a way that disadvantaged Democratic candidates in violation of the constitutional guarantee of equal protection under the law. A lower court sided with the Democratic voters.
In the Maryland case, Republican voters accused Democratic legislators of violating their constitutional free speech rights by redrawing boundaries of one particular U.S. House district to hinder Republican chances of winning. The Supreme Court in June sidestepped a ruling on the merits of the case and a three-judge panel threw out the district in November. '
Nicely balanced between the 2 parties, I think the MD case may be stronger than NC but it will be interesting to see how SCOTUS views it. Certainly timely for the 2020 elections!

Different sides of the same coin. This is going to be interesting.

Here is the way District 12 was drawn by Dems in the past.
Dems are pissed about past forced redraws of District 12.
Here is an enlarged sample of what Dems claimed was a nonGerrymandered District 12:

The NC GOP is kind of screwed either way. The Dems just took a 5-2 lead on the state Supreme Court.

What is an arguement for supporting gerrymandering long term?

So NC is more mid Atlantic now and much less South. Who would've thunk it? Crazy.

It’s the next Virgina with the growth in Charlotte and Raleigh

:-( It's past time for a very loud wakeup call. From the RNC and elsewhere. This game of domino effect is not fun to watch.

I think the GOP/Dem statewide congressional vote was like 50.3-49.7 with the GOP taking 9 of 13 seats with 1 undecided
