What factors can or should legislators use when drawing legislative districts? Is it constitutional for states to delegate redistricting to “non-political” commissions? Should districting take into account all persons in the district or only citizens of voting age? Are “Voter ID” Laws constitutional? All these issues are in the courts as we approach the RNC Convention and the November Election. Ilya Shapiro will help shed some light on these complex issues.
