But the court said state lawmakers violated procedural requirements when referring the plan to the ballot. Friday’s ruling, combined with a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that severely weakened the Voting Rights Act, has supercharged Republicans’ advantage in congressional gerrymandering heading into this year’s midterm elections.
