Justices: Federal courts can’t police partisan gerrymandering

By JOSH GERSTEIN and STEVEN SHEPARD

The Supreme Court has dashed efforts to crack down on partisan gerrymandering, ruling that attempts to gain political advantage through the redistricting process are so pervasive that allowing judges to police the practice would lead to a boundless quagmire of litigation.

The 5-4 ruling, along ideological lines, is a blow to reformers, who hoped the court would set limits on political parties’ ability to rig congressional maps for favorable election outcomes — and a boon to Republicans, who control the majority of state legislatures, which draw the maps for most states.
