The complexity of the Texas redistricting case....

Which may or may not come down today. Scotusblog notes three issues beyond the mid-decade redistricting problem that's gotten all the attention:
1. Constitutional Constraints on Racial/Ethnic Redistricting....

2. The Voting Rights Act in Today’s World of Multi-Racial and Ethnic Demographics....

3. Is Partisan Gerrymandering Unconstitutional at the Retail Level Even If Not At the Wholesale Level?
These issues are very complex, but that doesn't guarantee that the Court won't find some simple answers.
