The Supreme Court could overturn this when they rule on gerrymandering later this year.
Federal judges just threw out Michigan's congressional map as unconstitutional, and it looks like another victory for anti-gerrymandering advocates.

But the SCOTUS is already considering the issue and will have the final say in June.@politico story –> https://t.co/3nX6AAfs8c
This is a big win for a stronger and fairer democracy. My work in this case showed that Michigan has some of the most gerrymandered congressional and state legislative maps in history. I'm excited that Michigan voters will now get #FairMaps. https://t.co/R7VU4JKIsK

This is excellent news for Michigan and the whole country. When a party draws congressional districts so that the other party has no chance of competing, it violates voters’ constitutional rights. It’s egregious, unAmerican corruption. End gerrymandering! https://t.co/UdxIbSTyWw

This is how we fight back against voter suppression and win. Proud to have been part of this lawsuit to stop the illegal gerrymandering efforts that violated our rights in Michigan. https://t.co/S0ZFf6AzIM

Potential SCOTUS decision on gerrymandering notwithstanding, but damn this is big. We may get a new Michigan map by the end of the summer.https://t.co/J7HR22Xd1z
