Gill v. Whitford (16-1161)

Question

Did the district court err in holding that it had the authority to hear a statewide challenge to Wisconsin's redistricting plan, rather than requiring a district-by-district analysis?

Did the district court err in holding that the redistricting plan was an unconstitutional gerrymander?

Did the district court use an incorrect test for a gerrymander?

Are defendants entitled to present evidence that they would have prevailed under the gerrymander test actually used by the district court?

Are partisan gerrymandering claims justiciable?
