The Supreme Court is considering a major elections case from North Carolina which involves the question of whether the North Carolina Supreme Court had the authority to throw out Republican-drawn congressional districts. The North Carolina Supreme Court is now dominated by conservatives and if it reverses its decision, it could moot the crux of the case that the Supreme Court had been considering. The Supreme Court has asked the parties involved to file new court papers on the impact of the North Carolina Supreme Court’s decision, which could have far-reaching implications for election law nationwide.
