Looks like 5 seats could end up becoming Democratic, which would mean an even split of 217 seats each.

“Although the majority's decision is disappointing, this case is not over."

Is it just me, or does that sound rather menacing?

The highest court in the country finds the districting lines were intentionally racist and need to be redrawn, and the response is “the fight is not over?”

There really needs to be independent nonpartisan redistricting across the country.

How does that actually work in practice? Its a good model to strive for, but impossible to do in reality.
