SCOTUS Throws Out Legislative Maps

Good. The end result may be less advantageous for Republicans, but it is right on the law. 

The U.S. Supreme Court tossed the maps because it concluded the state justices did not adequately determine whether Assembly districts in Milwaukee complied with the federal Voting Rights Act.

Federal law is complicated because those who draw election maps must not consider race in some instances but are required to do so in areas with large minority populations to ensure those voters can elect candidates of their choosing.

 

The maps the state court adopted increased the number of majority Black districts from six to seven in Milwaukee. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the state justices had not done enough analysis to determine whether the Voting Rights Act required the creation of the seventh district.

    Sounds like a polite way for the USSC to let Hagedorn know he doesn’t quite understand his job.
