Hickenlooper and Iowa reapportionment debate stance
The piece argues Senator Hickenlooper's reapportionment views fail to address Iowa's long ignored seat realignment. It contends the 1904 to 1961 Iowa legislature abdicated its duty, enabling minority rule and eroding equal protection, urging individuals to seek court relief when state officials refuse to uphold constitutional duties.

New Hampshire faces legal gaps in its sweepstakes lottery with 15 middlemen buying tickets for out-of-staters at fees and commissions.
