A very interesting story was just published at the Brennan Center For Justice at New York University Law School by expert Annie Lo:
In 2018, voters in five states (Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Utah) passed reforms by overwhelming bipartisan margins to make future map drawing fairer and more transparent.
That momentum has carried forward into 2019 with redistricting reforms passing legislatures in both New Hampshire and Virginia. And active efforts are underway in other states around the country to improve the redistricting process ahead of the next round of mapdrawing in 2021.
See the full story here for a ’round-up’ of five key state reform efforts. Also see our main section on American Democracy and our Voter Access articles focusing more broadly on the ease of voting and the various barriers in the way.
