We took the case into Federal court, and the lower Federal courts ruled in our favor and ruled that the State legislature engaged in partisan gerrymandering and that it was a violation of the Federal Constitution.
Unfortunately, the High Court decided that political gerrymandering is not protected by the Federal Constitution.
The State supreme court ruled that the congressional map was an extreme, intentional partisan gerrymander and directed legislature to fix it.
In conclusion, our democracy works best when every voter can make their voice heard.
