You might not expect a conversation with an election law expert about gerrymandering and voting rights to be uplifting and even optimistic, but our talk with @justinlevitt.bsky.social on The Downballot podcast this week was genuinely amazing.

Enjoyed this discussion on the effect of Prop 50's new redistricting map on Asian American voters & more with @caltechlcssp.bsky.social's @rmichaelalvarez.bsky.social & UCLA's Natalie Masuoka - and not just because I was name-checked!🙂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3-m...

Enjoyed discussing redistricting wars, voting rights, and communities of interest today at Widener Delaware Law School. As a redistricting nerd, I was energized but the legal audience found the relative lack of national guardrails normatively depressing.

Quick decision from state supreme court allowing California redistricting ballot measure to continue. If only other courts could make redistricting decisions with this alacrity. bsky.app/profile/rick...

Technically Davis v. Bandemer (1986) said partisan gerrymandering was justiciable, and then Rucho (2019) strongly disagreed and overturned. But in practice, both cases affirmed and kept in place partisan gerrymandered maps.
The R gerrymander in 1980s Indiana worked as expected in the aggregate, but some R incumbents lost unexpectedly along the way to the gerrymander. In Davis v. Bandemer (1986), SCOTUS allowed partisan gerrymandering and it was affirmed again in Rucho (2019).
As Indiana is pressured to redistrict by White House, state legislators may recall Davis v. Bandemer (1986). Rs gerrymandered legislature in 1980s but in several seats Dems surprisingly won later due to Rs spreading out R voters across many districts. supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

Great reporting by @politico.com on how California redistricting went from bluff to ballot reality. And notably, only after Texas acted first. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Texas state lawmakers gave final approval early Saturday to a new election map that President Trump pushed to help Republicans in next year’s midterms, sending the plan to Gov. Greg Abbott (R) for his signature after a weeks-long standoff with Democrats.

Smart article from @calmatters.org on "gut and amend," which has been used regularly in CA legislature for decades. The CA Supreme Court overturning that procedure would have huge ripple effects on other laws, so this legal challenge is unlikely to prevail. t.co/E2bFUbcbZj

FOX News has incorrectly labeled Utah & SC as Democratic gerrymanders (!) even though their states are R trifectas. Utah's congressional map is 4-0 R; and SC 6 R-1 D. #redistricting
