Kentucky Democrats took their legal fight to the state's highest court on Tuesday in challenging Republican-drawn boundaries for state House and congressional districts.
The hearing before Kentucky's Supreme Court at times revolved around a lower court ruling that the new maps did not violate the state constitution. Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate concluded that the new boundaries amounted to “partisan gerrymanders,” but said the constitution “does not explicitly forbid the consideration of partisan interests in apportioning representation."
