Judges take over drawing dozens of House districts — and throw Dems a bone

Politico reports:

The redistricting wars are shifting into a new arena: the courtroom. Most states have finished their maps already, but state and federal courts will direct the drawing of some 75 congressional districts in at least seven states in the coming months, marking a new phase in the process before the first 2022 primaries begin. In the next few weeks alone, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania courts are likely to impose new maps blocking Republican legislators’ attempts to relegate Democrats to small slivers of those congressional delegations.

Government by judiciary in action.
