WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday put on hold court orders in Michigan and Ohio to redraw electoral maps that federal judges found were too partisan. They more likely reflect that whatever the court decides probably will affect rulings that struck down legislative and congressional districts in Michigan and congressional districts in Ohio. Ohio lawmakers faced a June 14 deadline to draw new congressional districts, or have the courts do it for them. State and congressional districts are redrawn following the once-a-decade census to account for population shifts. The Supreme Court is considering redistricting challenges into congressional maps drawn by Republicans in North Carolina and Democrats in Maryland.
