Courts Can Void Voter‑Approved Maps

A growing trend: state courts are increasingly willing to overturn congressional or legislative maps even after voters or legislatures have approved them, using constitutional and procedural grounds. That shifts redistricting from a once‑a‑decade, technocratic process into continuous litigation and partisan contestation. — If courts can regularly undo maps voters approved, control of legislatures and Congress becomes more dependent on litigation strategy and court composition than on elections alone.
