The State Supreme Court swiftly upheld the congressional redistricting plan and set aside Assembly and State Senate plans, ordering elections in existing districts. It imposes two safeguards to prevent gerrymandering, including a requirement to draw new maps this year and a warning that the court may craft its own plan if needed. The decision avoids delay, preserves election deadlines, and judges the 1974 process as the best possible given the circumstances.
