No easy answers on fair redistricting reform
American Bar Association
Raleigh partner Phillip Strach joined a panel discussion on how lawyers can help achieve fair redistricting throughout the country during the American Bar Association Virtual Midyear Meeting.
Redistricting, the process of drawing electoral district boundaries, has been a hot-button issue, particularly during these politically charged times. The shifting of map lines and reapportioning of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives can affect election outcomes and policymaking.
“Redistricting is hard. It exacts a personal toll on everyone involved,” said Strach, who has represented both plaintiffs and states in redistricting cases for 20 years. “There’s a human element to this.” But he also said that it’s an “inherently political process.”
