Michigan’s Legislature “will not be forced” to redraw legislative and congressional districts for the 2020 election following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on Thursday, June 27. After the 5-4 decision, the high court states that federal courts have no role to play in deciding claims of partisan gerrymandering. During the last election in November, Michigan voters passed a constitutional amendment, creating an independent commission to handle the once-a-decade redistricting process after the census. The amendment will go in effect for the 2022 election with a time spand repeated every ten years.
