Rucho v. Common Cause

Rucho v. Common Cause was a pivotal legal battle that addressed the contentious issue of partisan gerrymandering in electoral district mapping. The case centered on North Carolina's congressional districts, with plaintiffs arguing that the state's redistricting plan unfairly favored one political party over another. In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that partisan gerrymandering claims were beyond the scope of federal courts' jurisdiction, leaving the matter to be resolved through political processes rather than judicial intervention.
