MEMORANDUM

Posted: October 22, 2021 04:38 PM
From: Representative Craig Williams
To: All House members
Subject: Making It Unlawful to Conduct Elections based on Outdated Legislative Maps
 
Shortly, I will be introducing legislation making it unlawful to conduct state legislative or congressional elections based on district maps that have been mooted by an intervening decennial census. Fair and proportional representation requires that state and federal legislative districts be constructed, published, and adjudicated with all possible haste so that voters have certainty about their districts as soon as possible.  I also intend to reaffirm statutorily that the General Assembly cedes none of its express constitutional authority to the courts for creating maps for either state or federal legislative districts.
