On August 7, several amici curiae briefs were filed with the U.S. Supreme Court in Evenwel v Abbott, 14-940. The issue is whether the U.S. Constitution requires U.S. House and state legislative districts to based on equal numbers of eligible voters, or population. One of the amici is from sixteen Tennessee state legislators. They argue that the Court should choose eligible voters. Here is the amicus.
Democracy 001 – FIRST PRINCIPLE —
A State/Local legislative body exists ONLY because ALL of the Electors-Voters can NOT appear in person and vote on legislative body stuff – bills, etc.
If there is a state/local areawide vote, then ONLY such Electors-Voters vote — NOT non-Electors — children, felons, foreigners-legal and esp. ILLEGAL invaders.
Too many MORON lawyers and judges in gerrymander cases since 1964.

P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
It is a nice touch having a lawyer who was involved in ‘Baker v Carr’ being a party to the brief.
