“States See Growing Campaign to Change Redistricting Laws”

The New York Times offers this front-page report. In my view, this movement is an entirely appropriate response to the Supreme Court’s Vieth case. Because there is no social consensus over how best to control partisan manipulation of the redistricting process, the Supreme Court was right in Vieth not to impose a one-size-fits-all constitutional solution. The matter should be fought out in the political processes in the states and Congress, as is now occurring. This is a point I make in much greater detail in my recent Election Law Journal article on Vieth.
