Iowa Officials Named Defendants in Apportionment Suit
A federal suit filed in Des Moines names Iowa state officials and county auditors as defendants. Charles Davis and Arthur Lewis of the Federation of Labor seek to block the Shaff reapportionment plan and demand either reapportionment by population or at large elections, claiming current lines violate equal representation. The action argues that 27.4 percent of Iowans would elect a House majority and 35.6 percent would control the Senate, and that the plan provides inequitable representation. Leaders from both parties assisted the labor group, with the suit described as a public service rather than a partisan effort.
