maps drawn by Democrats but ordered lawmakers to revise the maps in time for the 2024 elections.
The maps have come under fire from Republicans and other critics who say the lines signed into law earlier this year give Democrats an unfair advantage. Friday's ruling affirms an earlier court decision that invalidated the maps drawn by legislative Democrats after a bipartisan redistricting panel could not agree on new lines.But the appellate court said there was not enough time to redraw the maps, even if the primary election were to be rescheduled for a later date, perhaps in September.
