Case Information
A state court challenge to the congressional and state legislative maps, based on the anticipated failure of the legislature to draw valid lines, and anticipated subsequent malapportionment.
On Nov. 30, 2021, after the legislature failed to overcome a gubernatorial veto, the state Supreme Court announced that it would take a “least-change” approach to the maps from the prior decade. On Mar. 3, 2022, after inviting submissions from various parties, the state Supreme Court adopted the Governor’s proposed congressional and state legislative maps.
On Mar. 23, 2022, in a summary proceeding, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed with respect to the state legislative maps, finding that the Governor’s state legislative maps predominantly relied on race without sufficient justification in the record. On remand, on Apr. 15, 2022, the state Supreme Court adopted the legislature’s proposed state legislative maps instead.
