Briefly:

• In The Huffington Post, Alan Morrison weighs in on Evenwel v. Abbott, the “one person, one vote” case; he argues that, to “assure that states doing reapportionment follow the law . . . there must be one right answer to the question of what the baseline should be for drawing districts. The answer that has consistently been used is population.”
• In The Washington Post, Chris Cillizza looks at the 2016 presidential election and its potential impact on the Court, describing the stakes as “remarkably high”: “Who wins the White House will shape not only the country over the following four years but could well leave an impact on the court that stretches decades beyond that.”

A friendly reminder:  We rely on our readers to send us links for the round-up.  If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, or op-ed relating to the Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com.
