How much trouble is Section 2 of the VRA in? A conservative WI Supreme Court justice cast a deciding vote to enact a plan w/ an additional Black majority legislative seat. On a long shot appeal, SCOTUS used shadow docket to rule it an improper use of race. Uncharted territory. — PolitiTweet.org

@rickhasen If it were a purely partisan body, it wouldn't have let NC/PA court maps stand for the 2022 cycle. — PolitiTweet.org

Needless to say, the Supreme Court's rather selective application of the Purcell principle (no last-minute changes to election rules) in AL vs. WI won't do anything to diminish perceptions it's become a partisan body. — PolitiTweet.org

Keep in mind that this doesn't apply to the congressional map the WI Supreme Court adopted (not that that map helps Dems much). — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, this is an internal poll, and Mooney's internals have consistently shown him leaning. But the fact Trump's endorsement hasn't put this race away - against an R who voted for a 1/6 investigation and the bipartisan infra. package - is meaningful. — PolitiTweet.org

New: Rep. David McKinley's (R) campaign is out w/ a new poll showing him up 46%-39% over Trump-endorsed Rep. Alex Mooney (R) in #WV02. If the Trump-endorsed R in *West Virginia* doesn't win, would be a real sign of waning influence in GOP primaries. https://t.co/yP4teA8PcW — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Sununu's proposal would reduce #NH01 from Biden +6 to Biden +4.4 (instead of the Trump +2 version passed by legislative Rs), giving Rep. Chris Pappas (D) a better chance at winning reelection. — PolitiTweet.org

OHIO: I'm told there's a strong likelihood plaintiffs will file a new lawsuit against the GOP's latest congressional map before the end of the day, per the OH Supreme Court's order Friday. Republicans are hoping courts will say the clock has run out on a challenge. We'll see. — PolitiTweet.org

The first ranked-choice election in Alaska will be a special election (likely August) to replace late #AKAL Rep. Don Young (R). This seat is likely to stay in GOP hands. https://t.co/EtpMwkYshf — PolitiTweet.org

The 117th Congress is having a rough go of it: five people elected to it in 2020 have since passed away (Letlow, Wright, Hastings, Hagedorn, Young). But that’s still not as cursed as the 110th Congress (2007-2009), when eight sitting members died in office. — PolitiTweet.org

If there was one thing you could count on handicapping House races, it was Don Young running for reelection. But the craziest stat is that over five decades he came within single digits of losing eight times (by my count) but no one could ever beat him. — PolitiTweet.org

Wow: on a seeming technicality, the OH Supreme Court leaves open the possibility for the latest GOP congressional gerrymander to be used for this November’s election. A surprise and a setback for Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a maximal GOP gerrymander, flipping Rep. Chris Pappas's (D) #NH01 from Biden +6 to Trump +2. Now, we'll see if Gov. Chris Sununu (R) - who has publicly thrown cold water on the idea - signs it. — PolitiTweet.org

First of all, it's a badly misleading headline. Second, partisans test the strength of the seats they draw using election results down to the precinct level, not census data - and that election data's pretty robust. — PolitiTweet.org
