Tulsa Lawyer Says Redistricting OK
Tulsa attorney John Ladner, adviser on initiative petitions, says congressional redistricting would be valid if Oklahoma voters approve. The state Supreme Court ruled petitions valid and authorized a vote, potentially in July before November’s general election. Ladner counters Fred Hansen’s view that redistricting is limited to once per decade and cites U.S. Supreme Court inferences supporting state action.
