Senate approves reapportionment bill 57 to 25
The Senate passed a strict congressional redistricting bill by 57 to 25, overriding committee sentiment. It sets a 10 percent population variation limit for next year, with talks of a conference on likely compromise between 30 and 10 percent. Kennedy led the 10 percent amendment, citing One Man One Vote rulings. House leaders welcomed the shift and language to curb gerrymandering.
