Supreme Court to take Wisconsin partisan gerrymandering case, delays order to re-do districts for 2018

Quoted: UW-Madison political science professor Barry Burden said people shouldn’t view the stay as an indication of where the court stands on the case overall. He added, though, that because of the time it will take for the Supreme Court to decide the case, “In 2018, we’re very likely to be using the districts we have today,” regardless of how the court rules. He said he doesn’t believe the court will rule until possibly the middle of 2018.
