Ky court strikes down redistricting law

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Kentucky Supreme Court again rules that the state's newly-passed redistricting law is unconstitutional.

In its final ruling on the matter, the court says populations are out of balance.

Justices also echoed an earlier ruling that legislative candidates will have to run in districts that have been in place for the last decade.

Redistricting occurs every 10 years to account for population changes found in the U.S. Census.
