BREAKING: Supreme Court has DENIED cert for the case alleging that the Washington State Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. Huge victory for everyone relying on SVRAs to promote minroity representation! https://t.co/pxT7MsO9y6

VICTORY: Wisconsin voters will have a meaningful say under the first non-gerrymandered maps in over a decade. The maps, signed by Gov. Evers, follows the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s momentous decision striking down WI’s non-contiguous state legislative maps as unconstitutional.

Do you guys ever think about the electoral college?

The three-part test we proposed in Whitford and Rucho strikes again.

Intent. Effect. Causation. Manageable according to almost every judge not named John Roberts.

BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court issues decision in Moore v. Harper. The Court rejects the independent state legislature theory, ruling that state courts have the power to review election laws and maps enacted by state legislatures. https://t.co/g6UJySp48L

@ruthgreenwood @northsidecoj Very sad news. Meeting Ben made a huge impact on me. Thinking of everyone at @northsidecoj / in Jax.

[Nicholas Stephanopoulos @ProfNickStephan]

So the Court today:

1. Fully endorsed the Gingles framework for racial vote dilution claims.

2. Fully rejected Alabama's argument that a "race-blind benchmark" should replace Gingles.

3. Confirmed that Section 2 applies to districting and is constitutional.

Incredible!

A WIN for VOTING RIGHTS! The Supreme Court upheld s2 of the VRA in Merrill v. Milligan. Glad to see our brief--on behalf of @ProfNickStephan, @cwarshaw, @CSElmendorf, and, Jowei Chen--cited and discussed

[Nicholas Stephanopoulos @ProfNickStephan]

Wait, the plaintiffs WON in Milligan?! This is an absolutely stunning development. I'm rubbing my eyes and having trouble believing it. And with Roberts -- the author of Shelby County -- writing the opinion? This is probably the most unexpected outcome in the history of the VRA.

VICTORY: Today the court approved the settlement agreement in Jacksonville Branch of the NAACP v. City of Jacksonville. This approval cements the plaintiffs’ successes and ensures fairer representation for Black voters in Jacksonville

[Meredith Manda @MeredithManda]

@ProfNickStephan Amazing news!!!

[Nicholas Stephanopoulos @ProfNickStephan]

Jacksonville has agreed to settle our racial gerrymandering suit against the city. This victory is notable in a few respects:

1. This was one of the first racial gerrymandering cases to make use of comparator sets of computer-generated maps.

UPDATE: Good news out of Jacksonville! “This new map provides certain positive and productive opportunities for the Black community,” said Plaintiff @FrazierBen, president of the Northside Coalition of Jacksonville.

@ruthgreenwood @ElectionClinic Congrats on two years!! So many great people in this pic.

For all the times I have seen detailed 3D body models of humans fit to video and thought, “why don’t we have those for mice?” Proud of you, @akshayjaggi_!

Have you seen detailed 3D body models of humans fit to video and thought, “why don’t we have those for mice?” Better capturing full mouse shape from video could open up new analyses in ethology and neuro. Here we share ArMo, our attempt at doing just that! https://t.co/WiayqiLGWP
