SCOTUS won’t police gerrymandering, leaving states free to lock in party power and shrink swing districts.

SCOTUS didn’t tell any state to be red or blue. What it did do is step back from policing partisan gerrymandering, which gives state legislatures free rein to redraw maps that protect their own party. That means swing districts shrink, competitive seats vanish, and voters get stuck in engineered lines. People feel elections are predetermined, and they aren’t wrong — the Court didn’t make the maps, but it gave politicians a license to harden them.
