    Fortunately, that’s not the case:

    Court-appointed experts will now draw a new map for the 2024 elections.

    Of course, it depends on if an appeal changes that…

      Case is on the way to the SCOTUS though who may yet step in and do something heinous, political, and stupid.

        Exactly. The best outcome would probably be they refuse to hear it and the ruling stands as-is. Not sure the odds of that, though, but they did uphold the earlier ruling by the district court on this case… (don’t think that gives much hope for the future, unfortunately)
