“Accuracy would seem to be the foundation of confidence, and Ohio’s redistricting plan foresees the possibility of delays in providing number,” the judge said. “It would seem that the remedy Ohio seeks is more likely to reduce public confidence.”

Seems well reasoned. The court does not have any ability to make the Census complete its work any earlier, so Ohio’s claimed injury simply isn’t redressible. No redressible claim, no lawsuit.

Reason prevails! And maybe OH will be a nicer place for Reps to run as a result.

Is Gym Jordan any more vulnerable in a less gerrymandered district?

Yes, he is more vulnerable if district is less snake like and more square.
