Could be a big deal
U.S. Supreme Court delays Michigan gerrymandering decision

The nation’s high court delayed a final determination over the case, which challenges Republican gerrymandering in Michigan. Decisions in the other two high-profile cases in are expected this summer.
The Supreme Court’s Michigan decision was not unexpected. A separate redistricting case in Ohio also was stayed.
Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court delay follows a decision from a panel of three federal judges last month who agreed that the political district maps drawn by Michigan Republicans in 2011 constituted illegal gerrymandering, as the Michigan Advance previously reported.
