Supreme Court Decision

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.

The ruling Thursday could empower Republicans and Democrats to become even more aggressive in drawing districts to their benefit after the 2020 census. It also could shift legal challenges to state courts and lead to more state ballot measures adopting redistricting reforms.
