Court rules Iowa reapportionment unconstitutional
A three judge federal panel ruled Yowa’s temporary legislative apportionment unconstitutional, ordering changes to reflect population shifts. The decision split 2-1 with McManus dissenting, urging a deadline for a new plan before the 1967 legislature, while the others urged action to align with one man one vote. The ruling affects Senate and House seats and delays no fixed deadline, prompting a future special session possibility.
