Kentucky Supreme Court dismisses redistricting lawsuit, but Beshear pushes for amendment

The Kentucky Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by state Democrats challenging the redistricting maps drawn by state Republicans. The Democrats accused the Republicans of gerrymandering to favor their party. The court ruled that the new district lines did not violate the state constitution's rules. Democrats expressed disappointment with the decision, stating that it gives legislative majorities more authority at the expense of voters and will lead to increased political polarization.
