If you want to nerd-out hard, check out Election Law Blog. There posts are way more nuanced than anything I read in MSM. This ruling is a big deal because it signals that SCOTUS might see party as a stand in for race in the South, which means that voting rights activists can go after PARTISAN gerrymandering under Voting Rights. Also, Thomas voted with majority and Kennedy did not.
