CLEVELAND, Ohio - Gerrymandering is now officially a bipartisan issue at the U.S. Supreme Court, which has decided to hear a suit brought by Republicans who don't like the way Democrats drew up a Maryland congressional district.
Earlier this fall, the court heard arguments - but has not yet ruled - in a separate Wisconsin gerrymandering suit filed by Democrats upset with the state legislative map work of Republicans.
Decisions that either state went too far in drawing maps for political reasons could have ramifications in Ohio when the next district lines are drawn following the 2020 census.
