Citations

Citations are sorely lacking for this article. It would be nice to have references to where in the opinions certain phrases are used given the length of Supreme Court opinions and this case's usage in successive cases at the federal Supreme, federal Circuit, and federal District Court levels. It's something I can commit to working on.

Expansion of Article to Include Relevant Information

I think more information on the background and legacy of this case should be included given the rarity of a gerrymandering case at the Supreme Court level. The judicial importance of this decision hasn't been emphasized in this article, nor its critical role in other gerrymandering cases. This is an improvement I will look into making.

I also think information could be added with regards to the content of dissenting opinions, given that there were three individual dissents. Although they hold no water legally, they are still part of the important fabric of judicial thought regarding gerrymandering.

Expansion to "Legal Arguments" section finished. May add further expansion to explain the influence of the Bandemer case on this one as it was a major topic of discussion during oral arguments.
