Redistricting Reform Commissions at Risk

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument this week in a case that could have drastic and far-reaching consequences for election laws, including redistricting commissions, passed by ballot initiative. An editorial in The New York Times http://www.brennancenter.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=78892&qid=3920604 linked to our interactive map http://www.brennancenter.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=78893&qid=3920604 of states with laws at risk if the Court rules in favor of the Arizona legislature. Read more about the case from Politico, http://www.brennancenter.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=78894&qid=3920604 Bloomberg View, http://www.brennancenter.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=78895&qid=3920604 the San Francisco Chronicle, http://www.brennancenter.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=78896&qid=3920604 and listen to Michael Li on Arizona Public Media. http://www.brennancenter.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=78897&qid=3920604 Read the Brennan Center’s amicus brief here, http://www.brennancenter.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=78890&qid=3920604 which Slate called “amazingly well-argued.”
