Excerpt:
Republicans needed some good news on the redistricting front after a frustrating setback in South Carolina.
State Senate Republicans there sided with Democrats on a key cloture vote, killing the push for a new map and pushing the issue to the next session. It was a gut punch after months of work.
But yesterday delivered a significant victory in Tennessee.
A federal judge refused to block the state’s new congressional map, allowing it to stay in place for the upcoming midterm elections. This preserves Republican advantages in a state that has been trending strongly red.
Something the Republicans in South Carolina couldn’t do because they’re weak.
Fair representation is the cornerstone of our republic, and it’s good to see the judicial process provide clarity so we can focus on the upcoming elections.
