Supreme Court Backs Arizona Voting Map in Republican Setback - Bloomberg Politics
Supreme Court Backs Arizona Voting Map in Republican Setback
“The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Arizona’s state legislative districts, rejecting contentions that the map unconstitutionally dilutes the influence of Republican voters.
The justices Wednesday unanimously said the map, drawn by an independent commission, complies with the Constitution’s “one person, one vote” principle.
A group of Arizona residents contended that the commission actually had partisan motivations and packed white Republicans into a handful of districts to give Democrats an edge………………..
………The high court said there was ample evidence that the commission wasn’t driven by partisan motivations but by an effort to comply with the U.S. Voting Rights Act………….
The Court says.........no cheating allowed.........
