Supreme Court considers constitutionality of independent redistricting - Tarini Parti - POLITICO
The Supreme Court will hear a case about the constitutionality of independent bodies that redistrict instead of the legislative bodies of the states. If the court says they are unconstitutional, these bodies would cease to exist and have some interesting implications. I am of the belief that many of the legislative bodies are too politically charged to produce new redistricting plans that are fair and accurate to the citizens of which they are supposed to represent. If the states want an independent commission, then let them. I say we can avoid the commissions and the representative inequality that usually comes from state legislatures by redistricting by way of mathematical algorithms.
