LWV Dakota County is hosting Paul Huffman, LWV Minnesota Election and Redistricting Policy Coordinator, to review key elements of a redistricting bill and how the bill addresses both Minnesota’s needs as well as the experience from other states. Redistricting of congressional and legislative districts is one of the most fundamental determinants of the health of our democracy. It is also one of least understood and appreciated by voters and some legislators.
Paul's presentation will review the principles and core aspects of redistricting; provide an overview of the 2022 redistricting results both in Minnesota and nationally; and discuss how the redistricting process in Minnesota can and should be changed to reflect the interests of the people – voters – rather than the interests of the political parties.
