Plan for Idaho reapportionment sparks county changes
District reshaping proposal by McDevitt of Pocatello County would redraw legislative seats across Idaho. The plan shifts representation by county density, aiming to ensure at least one representative per county while reshaping Senate seats, with Ada and Bannock gaining two. Debate centers on statewide balance and how counties like Caribou Bear Lake Camas Gooding and Jefferson would be affected. The outcome hinges on court rulings and legislative acceptance.
