After House and Senate leaders disregarded the ACLU of Kentucky’s request to accomplish legislative redistricting during the 2013 Regular Session, we filed suit in federal court challenging the existing, mal-apportioned districts. On August 17, 2013, a three-judge panel agreed with us (and the plaintiffs in a related, consolidated action) that Kentucky’s then-operative legislative districts violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s “one person, one vote” principle, and the Court issued an injunction barring state officials from using those districts in further elections.
