Supreme Court ruling enables partisan gerrymandering, reducing competitive elections

The Supreme Court has allowed partisan gerrymandering to shield redistricting maps from legal challenges, a decision that is expected to further reduce the number of competitive House districts. This ruling exacerbates a trend where elections are increasingly decided in primaries, which tend to favor more ideologically extreme party members over the general electorate. Consequently, fewer House races are anticipated to be competitive in the upcoming midterms, with a significant decrease in "Toss Up" designations compared to previous election cycles. AI
