WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed California to use a new voter-approved congressional map that is favorable to Democrats in this year’s elections, rejecting a last-ditch plea from state Republicans and the Trump administration.

No justices dissented from the brief order denying the appeal without explanation, which is common on the court’s emergency docket.

And apparently blue states too.

Right, they are making a gamble that red states are going to abuse it faster and harder than blue states.

It's not a gamble. The red states outnumber blue states.

The fun thing, though, is when an unpopular leader realizes that they are so unpopular that they can't even gerrymander because it may backfire.

But the blue states have more voters and more districts.
