YourVoice.Now Summary
Once every ten years, after the census, states redraw their Congressional district maps. Some states have used this process to redraw maps multiple times between censuses — a tactic called mid-decade redistricting — to give one party an advantage. This bill would put a stop to that by limiting each state to just one redistricting per census cycle. The only exception: a court could still order a new map if the existing one violates the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act. It would apply retroactively to any redistricting done after the 2020 census.
