Court hears of remap problems in Iowa high court
Iowa Supreme Court heard debates over the 1969 remap plan. Dan Johnston for the Democratic committee argued the plan violates equal protection and is partisan, not nonpartisan. He urged a computer aided approach without compromising one man one vote. Johnston stressed population as the sole reapportionment factor and warned against plans favoring rural districts or incumbents. The session highlighted tension between population equality and political considerations in districting.
