Dirksen Proposes Delay Bill On State Redistricting
Washington AP Senator Everett Dirksen offered a bill to pause all court redistricting actions until state legislatures act. The measure seeks to stay cases when legislative composition is challenged through the end of the second regular session after enactment. He argues time is insufficient for a constitutional amendment. The courts, under one man one vote rulings, could be enforcing unsuitable maps, Dirksen says.
