In April, a federal court struck down the redistricting plan because, in their efforts to tilt the scales toward Republicans, the legislators had created districts with different size populations. Some districts varied in size by nineteen people. Now, that may sound silly when districts have more than 600,000 people. But the principle of keeping districts as close as possible to each other in population is one of the most important in the Constitution. It goes back to equal representation.
