New Bill in Congress to Ban Secrecy in State Government Redistricting Process

On March 23, two members of the U.S. House introduced HR 4918, to require states to draw up redistricting plans for U.S. House district boundaries in a public process. The bill would require states to have an internet site to inform the public of all aspects of that state’s redistricting planning.

The bill would require that the internet site give advance notice of any meetings by state legislators or others, on the subject of redrawing the boundaries of the districts. The site would be required to include census data for that state. The site would be required to let members of the public post comments about the plan, and the comments must be posted no later than 3 days after they are made. The group handling redistricting would be required to publish its decision-making criteria. Here is a copy of the bill. The authors are John Tanner (D-Tennessee) and Michael Castle (R-Delaware).

  1. The bill is one more EVIL fraud sham.

    Half the votes in half the gerrymander districts = about 25 percent ANTI-Democracy MINORITY RULE — nonstop since the 1964 gerrymander cases in the Supremes.

    Worse before 1964 — back to 1789.

    Much, much, much worse minority rule in the gerrymander U.S.A. Senate since day 1.

    i.e. the U.S.A. Congress is a STONE AGE EVIL and VICIOUS minority rule oligarchy of leftwing / rightwing control freaks — with a party hack monarch in the White House since day 1 — with the whole bunch becoming more and more EVIL powermad.

    One result – the de facto bankruptcy of the U.S.A. regime — due to nonstop deficits in the regime since 1929.

    P.R. and nonpartisan A.V.
