In ''Gill v. Whitford'', 138 S. Ct. 1916 (2018), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] denied a challenge to redistricting in [[Wisconsin]], based on a lack of [[standing]] by the parties who had not even demonstrated that they lived in one of the challenged districts.

Writing for the Court, Chief Justice [[John Roberts]] stated:

+

{{cquote|We therefore remand the case to the District Court so that the plaintiffs may have an opportunity to prove concrete and particularized injuries using evidence—unlike the bulk of the evidence presented thus far—that would tend to demonstrate a burden on their individual votes. ''Cf. Alabama Legislative Black Caucus'', 575 U. S., at ___, 135 S. Ct. 1257, 191 L. Ed. 2d 314, 329 (remanding for further consideration of the plaintiffs’ gerrymandering claims on a district-by-district basis).}}
