on procedural grounds. Despite their demurrals, the justices seem to agree that it is poor form for politicians of one party to methodically preserve their seats with precision-engineered maps.

Mr Bondurant’s reply, supported later in the hearing by Allison Riggs, another lawyer arguing against the skewed North Carolina maps, was a reality check. Most states that have moved to redistricting commissions in hopes of dampening the political gamesmanship in electoral map-making have got there via ballot initiatives: amendments to their state constitutions approved by voters at the polls.
