(DC)- The U.S. Supreme Court will take up a Virginia redistricting case on racial gerrymandering. The court has agreed to hear an appeal filed by Republican lawmakers following a lower court’s ruling that eleven House of Delegates districts must be redrawn. Federal judges found the districts were drawn based on race and were unconstitutional. An expert chosen to redraw the maps has a late March deadline.
