Arizona’s 30 legislative districts were legally drawn and can continue to be used through the end of the decade, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled this morning.

And they even conceded that the ones with less population leaned more toward Democrats, a move that could give that party an edge in electing members to the Legislature.
