Redistricting Wars Add Uncertainty to 2024 Election

Nearly three years after the decennial process of redistricting started, ongoing litigation means state or federal political maps are still uncertain in more than a dozen states. While knock down, drag out fights over redistricting are common, that's a lot of maps to still be up in the air this late in the decade.

On this special episode of On The Merits, our weekly news podcast, we examine why redrawing these maps has become such a litigious affair and what that means for lawmakers, candidates, and voters. We also learn about how the Supreme Court's decision to stop policing partisan gerrymandering has led us to where we are today.

Attorneys, academics, and party officials weigh in on why the courts are now hearing so much redistricting litigation and whether this trend can even be reversed.
