Fair Redistricting: Ending Manipulation, Ensuring Independence

This bill aims to ensure that Congressional district boundaries are drawn fairly and independently. Citizens will have more influence over this process, and politicians will lose the ability to manipulate boundaries for their own benefit. This means your vote could have a greater impact in elections.
Key points
Prohibits multiple redistricting efforts after a census, ensuring stability.
Requires independent commissions, composed of citizens, not politicians, to draw districts.
Transparency: all commission meetings will be public, and proposed maps available online for everyone.
Allows citizens to submit their own map proposals, increasing public input.
District drawing criteria focus on equal population and maintaining community integrity, not political advantage.
Financial support for states to establish and operate independent commissions.
