U.S. Senators Laphonza Butler (California) and Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota) have introduced a bill to reform the Congressional redistricting process. The Fair Maps Act seeks to end partisan gerrymandering by establishing independent redistricting commissions in all 50 states to draw fair Congressional maps. The bill also includes measures to increase transparency in the redistricting process, such as open meetings and public notice requirements. It also mandates the use of consistent criteria for map-drawing, including respect for communities of interest, and prohibits the use of partisan data or election outcomes in creating districts.
