What Redistricting Looks Like In Every State

The Washington Legislature has approved the congressional map drawn by the state’s bipartisan redistricting commission, with a few minor tweaks. The new map is now law.

Washington’s state Supreme Court ruled Dec. 3 that the final maps approved by the commission can move forward. The commission had failed to meet a Nov. 15 deadline to redraw the state’s congressional and state legislative maps, prompting the Washington Supreme Court to take up the task, as required by state law. However, the court said that because the commission had voted to adopt the map by the constitutional deadline, and only missed the deadline to transmit the map to the state legislature by 13 minutes, it “substantially complied with the statute.”
