“Lawmakers May Seek to Limit Number of Redistricting Efforts”

That according to Todd Gillman of the Dallas Morning News, who writes: “With the Supreme Court giving its OK to mid-decade redistricting, momentum may be growing a bit for a ban on redrawing House lines more than once after each census. A key Republican, House Government Affairs Chairman Tom Davis of Virginia, joined a chorus of Democrats last week in saying the time may have come for Congress to clarify the rules.” On the other hand, the AP reports here that at least one state, Mississippi, is unlikely to change its historical practice of redistricting once a decade. The AP cites Rick Hasen as saying he doubts that states will be in a rush to change their practices.
