Supreme Court upholds total population for districting in Evenwel ruling
The 8 0 decision in Evenwel v Abbott rejects using voter eligible population to draw state legislative districts. The court affirms total population as basis, preserving one person one vote and maintaining current districting practices across states. Justice Ginsburg writes for the majority, with concurring opinions from Thomas and Alito. The ruling favors Democrats by avoiding shift of power to rural areas and leaves open questions about using qualified voters in future maps. Public and civil rights groups praise the decision while signaling ongoing political contest over redistricting methods.
