List of affected districts is in the linked story.

From reading about it the court said that Iosco,Bay and Arenac shouldn't have been replaced with Grand Traverse and Leeleanau county and IMO this really doesn't count and MI 1st should really just be left as is although its possible that with the 3 Ancestrally D counties added that it would have flipped in 2012 and even possible that D's held it in 2014 as they only lost it by 0.5 points in 2012 and 6 points in 2014. So it is possible that D's could have held this district upto 2016 if the GOP didn't flip these counties although it is almost certain the GOP would hold it today.

The best part? Republicans lack anyone with standing to appeal this case in their ranks because they got shutout of all the statewide executive offices in 2018. This ruling therefore will automatically remain final unless there is something Democrats dislike in it.

really? Because I heard there will likely be a stay and the Supreme Court will overturn it when their decision on gerrymandering comes down.

The Supreme Court cannot stay a ruling if nobody with standing to do so asks the court to stay said ruling.

Key segment: Nobody with Standing to do so. The Michigan Senate lacks standing to take the case.

I fully expect this Supreme Court to say they have standing

Since Senate districts are affected, it seems logical that the Senate would have standing (I know, I know, the law often isn't logical).
