Supreme Court declines to revisit reapportionment ruling
The Supreme Court refused to reconsider its state legislative reapportionment decision and agreed to hear new voter disputes from Virginia and Georgia. It rejected requests from Alabama, Florida and Illinois for further hearings, while taking up cases challenging Virginia voting restrictions and Georgia’s county-wide districts. The court also reviewed related issues including Georgia’s new constitution voting and districting challenges, and rejected a bid to hear a California Senate districting case with Los Angeles officials.
