How J Kagan got Justice Thomas to sign onto this opinion is a mystery: it seems to greatly expand ability to attack Republican gerrymanders
I've now completed my analysis of today's NC racial gerrymandering decision by #SCOTUS. Seems like a really big deal http://electionlawblog.org/?p=92675

Gorsuch..recused as it's part of election? Or just added no comments? Just wanting an FYI.
-
Yea. Then again, he was not on the bench when this case was heard.
-
Thanks! Confirmed - not on bench yet is the reason. Still waiting to see if Gorsuch means voting rights screwed once he's in.
-
On the plus side, this one was 5-3. His vote couldn't have changed the outcome.

Interesting write-up. Perhaps "completely uncontroversial" would be more accurate than "relatively".

Too bad Ossoff couldn't challenge Georgia 6th before the special! Any insight on whether North Georgia will have to redistrict before 2018?pic.twitter.com/44xpCUqMrk

I don't suppose the GOP will add Party affiliation to the Rules against Gerrymandering?

Not clear it's a total victory. The sub-holding that crossover districts can defeat Gingles Step One in Sec. 2 cases could be trouble.

Wow...a piece of good news! Thank you for the analysis. Seems huge, but I don't let myself get too hopeful about anything these days

Rick, trying to translate this into simple language: the GOP *can* gerrymander as long as they claim it's along party lines? Is that right?
-
Would like a response as well. It seems to be the case, though precedent from this and others seems to be of importance.
