North Dakota Voters Reject Reapportionment In Special Election
North Dakota voters defeated two reapportionment measures in a Tuesday special election as 83 percent of precincts reported. The initiated constitutional amendment failed 47 078 to 38 801 and the referred law failed 45 458 to 28 932. The measures would have created single member districts and a citizens commission to draw legislative boundaries, with outcomes returning the issue to a federal panel.
