Battles over redistricting from New York to Utah may result in new congressional maps for at least half a dozen states, with control of the closely divided U.S. House of Representatives in the balance.
over the state's Republican-drawn congressional map, which carved Democratic Salt Lake County into four separate districts.Republicans, meanwhile, have filed a challenge in New Mexico, where a Democratic-drawn map helped the party sweep all three districts in 2022. The state's top court has ordered a lower court to rule on the matter by October.
In Ohio, the state supreme court appears set to alter course after previously finding Republican maps violated the state constitution's prohibition on gerrymandering. Anti-gerrymandering activists are already anticipating a reversal and have begun working on a new ballot initiative to strengthen the constitutional language in time for 2026.
The court is currently weighing whether a new map should be used in 2024, as Democrats have argued. If the court agrees, a bipartisan commission would start the process. But under state law, the Democratic-dominated legislature has the final say. In Wisconsin, the most expensive state supreme court election in U.S. history resulted in a new liberal majority. The winning candidate, Janet Protasiewicz, who was sworn in on Tuesday, called the current Republican-drawn maps "rigged" during the campaign, and Democrats have expressed interest in challenging them before the new court.
