Legal challenges to newly drawn congressional district maps have been filed in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, with plaintiffs alleging partisan gerrymandering that violates state constitutional provisions for fair representation.
The lawsuits come as courts in multiple states grapple with the Supreme Court's previous ruling that federal courts cannot adjudicate partisan gerrymandering claims, leaving the issue to state courts and legislatures.
Depending on the outcomes, the challenges could force map redraws that alter the competitive landscape in dozens of congressional races before the midterm elections.
