The Supreme Court has allowed California to use a new voter-approved congressional map that is favorable to Democrats in this year’s elections, rejecting a plea from state Republicans and the Trump administration.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed California to use a new voter-approved congressional map that is favorable to Democrats in this year’s elections, rejecting a last-ditch plea from state Republicans and the Trump administration.

No justices dissented from the brief order denying the appeal without explanation, which is common on the court’s emergency docket.

      Gerrymandering is legal in America already you just can’t do it by race

      The Supreme Court confirmed Texas and California didn’t do it by race it has nothing to do with whether or not other red states can gerrymander

      You could always gerrymander you just can’t do it by race

          Stopped it how?

          There’s no constitutional or federal law against gerrymandering except you can’t do it by race…

          States have to make gerrymandering illegal at the state level which many have otherwise it’s only illegal if you gerrymandered by race

              Ok but we don’t like the Supreme Court decisions that are made up and not based in law or logic

              They also obviously couldn’t have given who sits on it

              What you’re really asking for is a united progressive Democratic Party that passes actual legislation ensuring fair elections
