THE REPORT SAYS THAT THE U.S. SUPREME COURT RULED YESTERDAY THAT MAPS CHOSEN BY THOSE TWO STATES SUPREME COURTS WILL STAND FOR NEW CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. THE REPORT SAYS THAT BOTH MAPS WILL FAVOR DEMOCRATS, AND PREDICTED THAT BOTH STATES WILL GAIN SEATS FOR DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON WITH THE MAP SELECTIONS. FOUR JUSTICES ON THE BENCH STATED THAT THE MATTER OF CHOOSING CONGRESSIONAL MAPS BY STATE COURTS MUST BE LOOKED AT BY THE HIGH COURT. THAT OPINION WAS NOT SHARED YESTERDAY BY THE MAJORITY OF THE JUSTICES. REPUBLICANS IN BOTH PA AND NC ARGUED THAT COURTS HAVE NO PLACE IN OVERRIDING LEGISLATURES DECISIONS CONCERNING CONGRESSIONAL AND PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.
