Redistricting
A Rhode Island city that counts inmates, but doesn't represent them, violates the "one person, one vote" principle.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
A unanimous court upheld an Arizona commission's redistricting plan that seemed to favor Democrats.
A different ruling would have shifted power away from Democratic-leaning areas.
A more liberal court could decide to police how voting districts are drawn.
“He who controls redistricting can control Congress.”
If a majority of the justices get their way, the rules of the democratic process could get tougher than ever before.
