Today, the Supreme Court is taking up the issue of gerrymandering. “Redistricting reform is an issue that should be beyond right and left. It’s about right and wrong,” JohnAvlon says in this morning’s RealityCheck.
In what could be one of the most consequential rulings of this term, the justices could, for the first time, establish a standard to decide when politicians go too far in drawing lines for partisan gain, or the court could slam the doors shut on such claims of extreme partisan gerrymandering.
Riggs warns the justices that if they don't step in now, the use of politics will only get worse as map drawers rely increasingly on redistricting software that has become more sophisticated and studies show that the ideological gap between Democrats and Republicans in Congress is larger than ever before.She said that if the Supreme Court rules that the issue must be left for the political branches, the 2016 plan will be the wave of the future.
