Iowa Shaff plan fuels rural urban fight for senate control
Long standing conflict over reapportionment pits rural Iowa against urban centers. As voters prepare for a key referendum next Tuesday, pro Shaff backers emphasize rural gains in senate power, while opponents warn of stalemate from rural dominance in the House. The plan could tilt representation with only about a quarter of the population electing the House under Shaff rules. Several proposed maps vary in rural advantage but none promise Senate control to any single bloc.
