		I.(a) The board of selectmen, or the voters of the town by the procedure established in RSA 39:3 may place an article on the warrant for annual town meeting at which town officers are elected, concerning the establishment of a redistricting commission.

		Redistricting experts say the recent gerrymandering games have contributed to escalating partisanship, a hollowing out of the political center, weakened clout for minorities, diminished voter participation, and even a loss of faith in democracy.
		Redistricting that renders voters superfluous should not be acceptable when it marginalizes voters on account of their views, instead of their race.
		Supporters of redistricting were buoyed by having one of the country's top redistricting attorneys serving both the State of Texas and Republican lobbying groups most active in pushing for the state to implement a new Congressional map.

		Fourth, redistricting by politically insulated commissions, the alternative that Issacharoff would have the courts force upon state governments, is both undesirable in theory and difficult to create in fact.
		Also, the overzealous pursuit of neutral redistricting principles often leads to boundary changes that disrupt ongoing programs, such as environmental or infrastructure projects, instituted by an incumbent for his or her district.
		Then, the fifth member of the redistricting commission (the chairman) is selected by the other four members, or if they cannot agree, the commission on appellate court appointments selects the chairman while "striving for political balance and fairness." Id. art.

		However, the plaintiffs voiced no objection either to the 1971 redistricting or to the 1981 decision not to redistrict, and waited until September 1988 to file this action, seventeen years after the 1971 plan was adopted and months after the last election under the 1981 plan took place.
		Further, the mere fact that the court-ordered redistricting plan would use 1980 census data that might be outdated does not mean that petitioners' delay in filing suit prejudiced the respondents.
		By the end of the decade, such a redistricting plan would be no more accurate in comparison to actual population figures than a redistricting plan adopted at the end of the decade using 1980 data.

		The tribe sought to have the actions of the county stopped and sought a declaration by the court that the tribe, as a sovereign government, cannot be subject to state law without consent or an express grant of authority to the state by Congress.
		The warrant was executed over the objections of tribal officials who argued that the state court did not have jurisdiction to authorize a search of the payroll records due to the tribe's sovereign status.
		While the tribe does not assert that the county lacked probable cause to issue the warrant, the tribe does claim that the execution of the warrant was unlawful based solely on the fact that the tribe is a sovereign nation and is not subject to state laws.

		Redistricting is taking place in all 50 states this year to reflect new census figures, but only Rhode Island is reducing the size of its legislature at the same time.
		Ad Hoc Redistricting Committee members Raymond T. "Chip" Hoyas Jr., John J. Barry III and Hodge had decided to redistrict on the basis of population because it seemed the safest way of complying with the principle of "one man, one vote" articulated in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Baker vs. Carr.
		The redistricting commission is required to protect minority representation wherever possible, he said, so that puts a priority on keeping Central Falls voters in their own districts; minority voters from there can't be used to even off unbalanced districts to the north.

		As damaging as strategic exploitations of uncertainties in campaign finance or redistricting law may be, at least those uncertainties may be temporarily resolved in particular states before the voting itself occurs.
		By contrast, strategic manipulation of uncertainties in the law of vote counting can occur during the process in which the ballots are being counted, with the consequence that the accuracy and integrity of the vote itself may be irredeemably impaired by litigation over uncertainties in the vote-counting rules.

	City of San Diego Redistricting Commission Meeting Minutes
		After that last redistricting effort, the citizens did vote to change the Charter of the City and take the decisions making power away from the elected officials, putting it into hands of an independent Commission.
		There are a number of requirements for redistricting, but the primary and foremost requirement of redistricting and the reason we do it is to equalize the number of people to the extent possible between the Council Districts.
		What that means is that if there are groups that have voting strengths in their Districts, and this Redistricting Plan were to divide that District in a way to reduce that strength - to take a cohesive group and divide it into different Districts for instance; that could be a violation of Federal Law.

		The court found, however, that based on statements by legislators during the legislative debate for the redistricting plan, the alternative plans and recommendations submitted to the courts by the Legislature and the preclearance submission to the Department of Justice, race was also paramount in the Legislature's enactment of the plan.
		To measure if a redistricting plan is retrogressive, courts have generally relied upon the number of majority-minority districts in the current and the previous plan.

		Moreover, because petitioner himself prepared the invalid warrant, he may not argue that he reasonably relied on the Magistrate's assurance that the warrant contained an adequate description of the things to be seized and was therefore valid.
		When a warrant applicant gives reasonable grounds to expect futility or to suspect that one or another such exigency already exists or will arise instantly upon knocking, a magistrate judge is acting within the Constitution to authorize a "no-knock" entry.
		And even when executing a warrant silent about that, if circumstances support a reasonable suspicion of exigency when the officers arrive at the door, they may go straight in.

	Daily Local News - Judges reject redistricting
		"On the one hand, the redistricting was rigged by GOP insiders and represents what is worst about government," said Wofford, who is challenging Lower Merion Democrat Frank Thomas for their party's congressional nomination.
		A 19-person deviation between the most populated and least populated newly drawn congressional districts is not good enough when that plan splits 84 local governments, including 25 counties, 59 cities, boroughs and townships, as well as 41 wards and even six voting precincts, according to the majority ruling.
		Under the redistricting, the new 13th District merged part of Democratic U.S. Rep. Robert Borski's all-Philadelphia district with part of Montgomery County.

		IN THEIR splintered opinion last week on Texas's infamously partisan redistricting plan, the Supreme Court's nine justices issued six different opinions.
		Indeed, to the chagrin of Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, it once again formally leaves open the question of whether any gerrymander could be bad enough to warrant judicial intervention.
		The court has, perhaps unwittingly, sent one other clear message to politicians of both parties eager to see how many extra seats they can create for their own side: Do it now, while you have the power.

	Indictment of Finneran is expected - The Boston Globe
		Federal prosecutors are preparing to indict former House Speaker Thomas M. Finneran for perjury, in allegedly lying when he testified in a federal trial that he was unaware of the contents of a House redistricting plan, according to two sources familiar with the progress of the investigation.
		Finneran's lawyers have launched a last-ditch effort to lobby US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan against bringing such a charge, arguing that the evidence gathered against Finneran in a year-long probe doesn't warrant federal prosecution, and that such a move would be viewed as excessive, said the sources, who asked not to be identified.
		At one point in the trial, Finneran was asked if he knew what was going to be in the redistricting plan before it was publicly distributed.
