The Supreme Court has addressed gerrymandering in various cases, notably in "Rucho v. Common Cause" (2019), where it ruled that partisan gerrymandering claims present political questions beyond the reach of federal courts. The Court asserted that there are no judicial standards for evaluating partisan gerrymandering, thus leaving the issue primarily to state legislatures and voters to address. This decision effectively limited the ability of courts to intervene in cases of gerrymandering based on partisan lines, which has significant implications for electoral fairness.
