State Leaders Continue to Ignore Calls for A Fair Redistricting Process

One week since Common Cause Delaware most recently called for a more transparent and participatory redistricting process, state leaders still have not given the public any information about how redistricting will work or set dates for public hearings. Since August, Common Cause Delaware and a coalition of more than 15 diverse community organizations have repeatedly urged state leaders to share details about the redistricting process with the public.

The For the People Act would create national standards for voting access, get big money out of politics, enforce ethics standards for all three branches of government, and require congressional districts to be drawn by a non-partisan commission so that no one party has an advantage.

Common Cause Delaware Supports Constitutional Amendment on Redistricting

Common Cause Delaware supports the constitutional amendment, but urges a slight change to the amendment language to ensure it “does not preclude the option of future redistricting reform.” Around the country, states are creating independent redistricting commissions to ensure that district lines are drawn in ways that respect communities rather than benefit incumbent politicians or political parties.
