"The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld a voter-approved plan that stripped Arizona state lawmakers of their role in drawing congressional districts in a bid to remove partisan politics from the process.
The court, split 5-4, ruled that the ballot initiative did not violate the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that state legislatures set congressional district boundaries. The ruling could pave the way for more states to adopt similar procedures. Six other states, including California, already have independent commissions.
The court’s four liberals were joined by conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy in the majority.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for the court, said the Constitution’s language giving legislatures the role of setting the “times, places and manner” of federal elections refers not to a specific legislative body but instead to a state’s general authority to legislate on the issue, which could include a voter-led initiative."
