I doubt the Democrat Attorney General will appeal.

[Redmen4ever]

I don’t that he would. But, the state legislature has standing.

Ah! Thanks.

Bearing Drift says this will cause so much trouble for them that the DEM congressmen will want an appeal:

“... There was a reason Democratic representatives supported the existing map wholeheartedly in 2012, and despite the court ruling, their feelings haven’t changed, something that you can be sure will be relayed to Terry McAuliffe.”

They don’t actually want or need to districts to be THAT safe. Scott’s seat could be considerably more Republican and still be safe for him.
