Dit is een enorme overwinning voor Common Cause Indiana en onze mede-eisers in deze rechtszaak, de League of Women Voters of Indiana en de Anderson-Madison County-afdeling van de NAACP. We willen onze advocaten Bill Groth en Daniel Bowman bedanken voor hun uitstekende werk.\r\n\r\nIn juni 2023 spanden Common Cause Indiana, de League of Women Voters of Indiana en de Anderson-Madison County-afdeling van de NAACP een rechtszaak aan bij een federale rechtbank om Anderson, Indiana, te dwingen de slecht verdeelde stadsraaddistricten opnieuw in te delen.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOp 30 september 2024 is een federale rechter oordeelde<\/a> dat het falen van de gemeenteraad van Anderson om de districten te herindelen met recente censusgegevens in strijd is met de Amerikaanse grondwet en dat er eerlijke kaarten moeten worden getekend. Voor de uitspraak van maandag had Anderson in meer dan vier decennia geen behoorlijke herindeling van de districten gemaakt. De raad tekende zijn stemkaart voor het laatst opnieuw in 1982 en negeerde de veranderingen in de bevolking die werden ge\u00efdentificeerd in de tienjaarlijkse volkstelling van 1990, 2000, 2010 en 2020. De gemeenteraad heeft belastingbetalers meer dan $150.000 aan juridische kosten gekost om ronduit ongrondwettelijke districten te verdedigen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nDe uitspraak kende een samenvattend oordeel toe aan de eisers en schrapte districten met bevolkingsverschillen die veel verder gingen dan wat is toegestaan onder de garantie van gelijke bescherming van het Veertiende Amendement. Het Hof baseerde zich grotendeels op de statistische analyse die was uitgevoerd door Sarah Andre, Common Cause's Redistricting Demography and Mapping Specialist. De mening concludeerde dat de Anderson-districten, met een bevolkingsafwijking van 45.48%, ongrondwettelijk verkeerd verdeeld waren. Het Amerikaanse Hooggerechtshof heeft geoordeeld dat een afwijking van meer dan 10% vermoedelijk ongrondwettelijk is, tenzij gerechtvaardigd door de gedaagden van de overheid.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nHoewel de rechtbank weigerde een bevel uit te vaardigen, omdat er tijdens de verkiezingen van 2024 verwarring bij de kiezers zou kunnen ontstaan, vinden de verkiezingen voor de gemeenteraad van Anderson pas in 2027 plaats. De gemeenteraad moet nu de kaart opnieuw tekenen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nBekijk de klacht<\/a> \u00a0 Lees het persbericht<\/a>"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_add_component","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_add_component":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_take_action","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_take_action":{"heading":"Take Action","button_text":"","manually_curate":false,"action":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_banner","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_banner":{"use_donate_banner":true,"title":"Title [highlight]with highlighting[\/highlight] and additional text.","button":null,"image":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_related_articles","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_related_articles":{"heading":"Updates","button_text":"See all Related Articles","manually_curate":false,"articles":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_resources","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_resources":{"heading":"Related Resources","button_text":"See all Related Resources","manually_curate":false,"resource":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_press","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_press":{"heading":"Press","button_text":"","manually_curate":false,"press":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_events","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_events":{"heading":"Events"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_our_experts","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_our_experts":{"heading":"","manually_curate":false,"people":null}}]},"yoast_head":"\nCommon Cause Indiana v.
