Supreme Court cases on redistricting

Supreme Court cases on redistricting address how electoral boundaries are drawn to ensure fairness and comply with legal standards. Key issues include whether districts are gerrymandered to favor specific parties or groups, and whether redistricting aligns with the Voting Rights Act to protect minority voters. Decisions shape rules on how states create election districts, balancing political representation with fairness. These rulings help prevent manipulation of district boundaries to influence election outcomes and uphold democratic principles by ensuring all citizens have an equitable voice in choosing their representatives.
