The Spin
Left narrative
The maps unconstitutionally reduce minority representation; this ruling is the result of a politicized judiciary.
Right narrative
To rule the re-draw unconstitutional would set a dangerous precedent. It is more democratic to make politicians accountable for re-designing voting districts.
Establishment-critical narrative
Both Democrats and Republicans gerrymander massively, making American democracy far from fair. Election laws should change.
