     Cherokee Nation Supreme Court Upholds 15 Voting Districts
On February 28, the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court announced its decision to uphold a lower court ruling stating that 15 Tribal Council voting districts is constitutional according to a Cherokee Nation press release. “The boundaries of these districts variously follow county lines, highways, rivers and zip code boundaries,” Justice James Wilcoxen wrote in the Supreme Court’s opinion. “Not in every instance are these districts contiguous or compact. This court does not find that there is a sufficient basis to interfere with the actions of the Tribal Council.”
