Politico (2/4/22) on Court Challenges to Redistricting Maps Around the Country (NATIONAL)

Politico provides an overview of the states in which legislatively enacted redistricting maps have been challenged in state and federal courts. In some states (such as Ohio and Pennsylvania), courts have already ruled, whereas in others (e.g., Florida), the cases are pending. 

The article quotes Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (Democrat-NY), chair of the party's congressional campaign committee, as saying of the court challenges that, "We're not taking anything for granted but we're doing a hell of a lot better than I thought we would."

UPDATE: In a ruling released roughly within the past hour, the North Carolina Supreme Court has struck down that state's redistricting map. Like rulings in other states, the one in North Carolina should help the Democrats.
