Abstract:

"Building a National Redistricting Reform Movement" is the product a two-day redistricting reform conference held last April. The report presents lessons learned from the failed 2005 redistricting reform efforts in California and Ohio. It also examines strategies, tactics, and tools necessary for the adoption of redistricting reform in several states looking ahead to the prospects for a national reform effort prior to the 2010 census and 2011 redistricting of the House of Representatives.
