Time to create independent map commission in Kentucky
Ronnie Ellis argues for an independent bipartisan commission to redraw legislative maps every ten years, reducing political games in Frankfort. He cites past gerrymandering by both parties, calls for a focused post-2020 census redraw, and urges court review to ensure constitutional compliance. He proposes a small commission with a top demographer, then court oversight if needed.
