in february 2017, it was announced that smith would be representing a group of 12 voters in the state of wisconsin who were challenging the voting maps for its state assembly districts as unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering. smith argued "gill v. whitford" before the supreme court on october 3, 2017. it was the first partisan gerrymandering case to be heard by the supreme court since 2004. in that case, smith argued that partisan gerrymandering is a harm to democracy and that we are on the "cusp of a more serious problem" because officials drawing redistricting maps now have access to vast amounts of data, and because the electorate is now so polarized that voting has become more predictable than ever.
