Dick Morris had a story about this back in early October. The matter had been taken up by SCOTUS, and it involves the Voting Rights Act. It seems that the Dems have relied upon this for 20 seats or more, as it figured in the racial gerrymandering of districts.
The matter had been taken up in early October, but not decided yet. Something happened just recently that may be an indication of where SCOTUS will go with this, if they haven't done that already.
It may have something to do with the recent decision in a lower court to halt the redistricting in Texas on the grounds of racial discrimination. But SCOTUS reversed that.
So the thinking is that since SCOTUS did that with regard to Texas' redistricting, that the writing is on the wall about how this decision will go down.
Maybe it has already been handed down, and the Dems are screwed.
But I'm not sure just yet.
Here's what I was looking for in order to go with Morris' link. Big victories in SCOTUS.
