Charles Anthony Smith, professor of political science and law at the University of
California, Irvine and others write, “On Thursday, the Supreme Court released its
much-anticipated decision in Rucho v. Common Cause, saying that if a legislature draws
districts that disproportionately favor one party — usually called “partisan gerrymandering”
— it’s a “political question” that the federal courts can’t fix. Those who oppose
partisan gerrymandering must therefore fight it in the states, where reformers have
made significant gains.”
