Law - A little more on the Texas redistricting decision
Continue to follow Election Law Blog, How Appealing, and SCOTUSblog if you want to read everything on today's opinion in the Texas redistricting case, LULAC v. Perry.
What does it mean for Indiana? In my opinion, it makes the November election even more important than before, because whichever party wins the Indiana House this year will want to do a mid-decade redistricting to change the House from a closely split body to one whose district makeup guarantees (as far as such a thing can be assured) that the party that wins the House will rule the House for years to come. Whichever party loses the election will argue for the creation of a redistricting commission.
