Federal Court Agrees To Delay Redistricting Trial For 3 Months

A federal court will delay a trial over redistricting in Wisconsin until the U-S Supreme Court rules on a similar case.  The panel voted two-to-one to grant a Republican request to wait to start the trial.  The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments about election maps in Maryland and North Carolina in March, with a ruling expected by June.  The Wisconsin trial had been on the court calendar for April.  Although Republicans got the delay they wanted, their motion for dismissal was refused.
