Supreme Court ruling reshapes state legislatures nationwide
Washington reports the Supreme Court sided with voters on population based legislative districts in six states Alabama Virginia Maryland New York Delaware and Colorado. The decision ensures equal protection of laws by roughly equal district populations though immediate election effects vary. The court also extended Fifth Amendment protection to states and barred compelled testimony that may incriminate under federal law. Lower courts must apply the rulings to local circumstances.
