I have no hope that Wisconsin's blatantly pro-GOP 5-2 State Supreme Court majority would rule against the legislature's current gerrymander, but it's great to see North Carolina state courts join Pennsylvania's push towards constitutionally-fair redistricting:
The North Carolina court in Wake County said the Republican maps violated the State Constitution’s clauses guaranteeing free elections, equal protection under the law and freedom of speech and assembly. Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court cited provisions of its Constitution in striking down the state’s congressional map in January 2018.
All of which makes defeating Scott Walker appointee Justice Daniel Kelly in next April's State Supreme Court race an absolute imperative, as a court tilted to the GOP right by a thinner 4-3 margin puts an eventual win for redistricting and other fair measures in the ballpark.
