"Supreme Court Refuses to Halt Redrawing of Detroit Legislative Districts"
The US Supreme Court rejected a request from Michigan's redistricting commission to halt the redraw of state legislative maps ruled unconstitutional due to alleged violations of the Equal Protection Clause and the Voting Rights Act. The commission must now publish new maps by Feb. 2 and hold public hearings, with a final map due by March. The court's order allows the redraw process to proceed, but there are concerns about implementing new voting districts in time for the 2024 elections.
