While the new map had widespread support among Republicans in the state House — it passed by a 57-41 vote — the ultimate fate of the map remains unclear.

Obviously the Supreme Court will throw this new map out, it’s too close to the election to change anything. Any other decision would be inconsistent with their decision from yesterday.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

Off topic, except that it’s Supreme Court related.
In its breaking reporting of the Supreme Court reviewing at Trump’s request the meaning of the 14th amendment’s clause about birthright citizenship the NYT made a serious error. It said that birthright citizenship is rare in developed countries. In fact birthright citizenship is common in New World nations (Canada, US, Mexico, Central and South America, Caribbean nations). That right is intimately related to these nations throwing off their colonial masters and abolishing slavery.
My guess is that the DOJ sent a fax to the NYT containing this misinformation, and the editor did not think to do a simple Internet query.
