States Draw Districts

State Authority
States have the constitutional right and primary responsibility to draw their own electoral maps. This decision respects the state legislature's role.
Judicial Deference
Federal judges correctly exercised restraint, declining to issue an injunction when no clear legal wrongdoing was proven to justify overturning a state's plan.
Fair Process
The map was enacted through Tennessee's legislative process. It meets population requirements and serves the state's interest in fair and balanced representation.
