In conclusion, our democracy works best when every voter can make their voice heard.
The State supreme court ruled that the congressional map was an extreme, intentional partisan gerrymander and directed legislature to fix it.
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.
Now the Supreme Court is going to have to decide whether or not State courts have any authority whatsoever over election laws within the State.
