North Dakota urged the Supreme Court on July 22 to leave a federal appeals court ruling in place that upholds an electoral map a judge approved in 2024.
The ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit also prevents voters in the seven states it covers from suing over alleged discrimination under the federal Voting Rights Act. The states within the circuit’s geographical boundaries are North Dakota, South Dakota, Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska.
