For elections to be free and fair, every vote should count equally, and every voice should be heard.
In 2018, 61% (over 2.5 million) of Michigan voters decided to put voters in charge of drawing state legislative and congressional election maps.
While Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has moved forward with the implementation of the voter-approved independent redistricting commission (IRC), politicians and special interests have filed an appeal to try a last-minute power grab to keep their ability to gerrymander maps and lock everyday citizens out of the process.
CLC represents Voters Not Politicians, the grassroots group that drafted and sponsored the state constitutional amendment to create an IRC. CLC has successfully defended Michigan’s redistricting reform from two legal challenges so far, and two courts have ruled it constitutional. The decision in this case, Daunt v. Benson, could be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and would impact the movement to adopt IRCs across the country.
