"We'll see more states doing more bad stuff."
Election reformers now have limited options with potential obstacles: voter-ballot initiatives, lawsuits filed in state courts, and congressional legislation.
Michael McDonald, a University of Florida expert on U.S. elections, stated:
"The hope from the reform groups was that you would just be able to wave a wand over the entire country and fix all the gerrymanders. Roberts said the battle that was in the states will stay in the states."
Former U.S. Attorney General under Barack Obama, Eric Holder, who heads the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, added:
"We'll continue to fight against map manipulation using every tool that is at our disposal. But even without no federal guardrail on gerrymandering, this fight is far from over."
