Opinion granting summary judgment for state
Case Information
Federal court challenge to state legislative districts as unjustifiably based predominantly on race.
On Nov. 2, 2023, the trial court granted summary judgment to the state and intervening Tribal defendants. The court concluded that, even if state districts were drawn with the predominant use of race, there was a strong base in evidence that the districts were required by the Voting Rights Act and therefore satisfied strict scrutiny. The decision has been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
