On January 4, the U.S. Supreme Court accepted two partisan gerrymandering cases. State governments of North Carolina and Maryland had placed these appeals in front of the Supreme Court. In each case the 3-judge U.S. District Courts had invalidated the congressional districts as a partisan gerrymander. The Court will hold oral argument in March. The two cases are Rucho v Common Cause, 18-422; and Lamone v Benisek, 18-726. Rucho is a North Carolina State Senator, and Lamone is head of the Maryland State Board of Elections. Here is the North Carolina appeal. Here is the Maryland filing.
Attention gerrymander math folks — grade 2-3-4 fraction math
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 rigged packed/cracked gerrymander areas = 1/4 or less CONTROL = OLIGARCHY — making 99 plus percent of laws in the USA — USA, States, Locals.
Much, much worse primary math.

Pity the blind / overworked SCOTUS clerks.
