    Another issue is timing. State(s) could drag their feet in redistricting and if it gets too close to the election say they don’t have time to complete the courts request. I hope there’s timeliness enforced.

    Also, yes usually the house goes to the winning candidate for the first two years than swaps.

        Yup. That’s the way the Ohio ‘non-gerrymandering’ law was written. Just drag your feet long enough, and it goes back to the (Republican-leaning) legislature. And then just drag their feet long enough, and those maps get used regardless of legality (they were ruled illegal… 2, 3x over by the state Supreme Court, but no matter!)
