That’s what Ohio did. Their maps were ruled unconstitutional, then they just did absolutely nothing to fix them and when the midterms came around they said “well we can’t just have an election with no maps at all, we’ll just go ahead and use these unconstitutional ones for the time being.”
Possible Silver lining, maybe the Supreme Court knows the new maps are bad for republicans so they want to strike them down before they shoot themselves in the foot?
Why would this court actually do something on principle in this case??
If I were a betting man, and I’m not, I would put all my bitcoins on Missouri using the new maps for midterms with zero consequences.

Yeah, I remember reading that a while back. Republicans are above the law. There are always warnings, but no consequences when they ignore them.

They hope that if they give true bipartisan decisions every once in a while, it will prevent the courts from being packed when Dems take office.
This one is a no brainer. Go against the Missouri SC for a net of 2 seats? Not with it.
