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.
The Voting Rights Act has transformed American politics and we are on a good trajectory.
Unfortunately, the High Court decided that political gerrymandering is not protected by 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.
