In Idaho, a Small Step Toward Redistricting Reform




From the Associated Press:

BOISE, Idaho - The Senate voted 30-5 to require territory within Idaho's 35 legislative districts be linked by roads, when possible, once the political boundaries are redrawn in 2011 after the next U.S. Census.

Districts linked by roads ("when possible")? Imagine that.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
