Court Rules Iowa Senate Apportionment Unconstitutional
A three judge federal panel ruled Iowa Senate apportionment unconstitutional citing extreme deviation from population based representation. The court voided the interim plan but urged the General Assembly to act to provide compliance ahead of the 1966 election. a dissent would also strike House seats. The ruling notes the Senate current plan grants a majority with only 38.9 percent of state population. The decision emphasizes no fixed formula and signals possible legislative action without invalidating the House. Governor Hughes declined comment. The panel contrasts Senate rigidity with House variances and discusses subsequent legislative steps for 1967. The Iowa Federation of Labor filed the suit.
