Supreme Court Dodges Making Major Ruling on Gerrymandering

Television crews await rulings outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, June 18, 2018. The Supreme Court declined Monday to decide two challenges to partisan gerrymandering, citing technical grounds. In a case from Wisconsin, the court said plaintiffs there had not proved they had suffered the sort of direct injury to give them standing to sue. The court sent the case back to the lower courts to allow the plaintiffs to try again. (Erin Schaff/The New York Times)
