Part One: Miles Rapoport: President of Common Cause on the Supreme Ct decision upholding citizen redistricting:
Today’s decision affirms Abraham Lincoln’s declaration that ours is a government of, by and for the people. The citizens of Arizona were justifiably outraged at the way politicians in their state legislature had manipulated the state’s political boundaries, so they created an independent commission to take charge of redistricting. Now that our highest court has given their initiative its blessing, we’re hopeful that citizens and legislators alike in other states will push politics aside and create independent bodies to draw truly representative districts after the 2020 census.
