The Washington Supreme Court, will Not exercise its Authority to Redraw the State’s Congressional and Legislative District Maps, leaving in place, the work of the Bipartisan Redistricting Commission.
In a Unanimous ruling Friday, the Court found the Commission had substantially met its Legal Obligations, by Voting on a Map Framework just before the Midnight Nov. 15th Deadline, despite the Panel Not revealing its Maps Publicly, prior to the Vote, and acknowledging that Final Work on Completing them continued after the Deadline.
Washington’s Maps may still face a Voting Rights Act (VRA) Challenge as “[s]ome voting rights activists have said the commission fell short of creating a Central Washington legislative district giving majority Latinos enough clout to elect their favored candidates.”
