Lingering redistricting lawsuits in 15 states could reshape 2024 political battlefield

At least 15 states still have lingering lawsuits over the reconfiguration of congressional districts based on the 2020 census, which could have a major impact on the 2024 elections as both parties battle for the House majority.

Approximately 46 lawsuits were filed in 22 states seeking to overturn newly redrawn congressional maps that were implemented ahead of the midterm elections, according to the Democracy Docket, a liberal voting rights organization. At least 32 of those lawsuits remain active, possibly changing the political battlefield ahead of next year’s elections.
