The court rejecting a case doesn't automatically mean they agree with the prior result. The article says the Supreme Court denied "the emergency application to stop the immediate reworking of the electoral district boundaries." Does that also mean they "refused to disagree with the lower court's order," or just denying the emergency application? I'm not 100% up on the semantics of this kind of thing. Rereading some other articles, the decision is likely final since it's based purely on state law, which the SCotUS won't overturn unless it's contrary to federal law. Most likely the appeal was a last gasp thing, but it looks like the legislature will have to redraw the districts. --- I...I shall consume.
