Chris Geidner of BuzzFeed News has a report headlined “Supreme Court Considers What ‘One Person, One Vote’ Means Today; Justices hear cases that could cause an upending of long-established state legislative redistricting principles.”

Cristian Farias of The Huffington Post has a report headlined “Politics Are Dominating The Supreme Court This Week; That’s Not Good; If a majority of the justices get their way, the rules of the democratic process could get tougher than ever before.”
