The court ordered the state legislature to draw a new map by Dec. 8.

I predict the new map will also violate it.

And then they'll be told to make a new one, and it will also violate it, and then they'll be told to make a third, and it will also violate it. And then they'll get to use the current one anyway. They're just following the book Ohio wrote them.

Ohio and Georgia could not be more different. Leftism is growing fast in GA, and their population is very diverse by comparison. There's a lot of opposition to conservatism down there now o'days.

Now do North Carolina.

They’ll say theirs is drawn to disenfranchise Democrats, which isn’t expressly forbidden.
