redistricting

A coalition of groups led by the League of Women Voters of New Jersey recommends big changes to how the state redraws its legislative districts.

Academics from five universities are recommending ways to improve how New Jersey redraws the boundaries of its 40 legislative districts after the census.

Already in control of Trenton, Democrats seek to convert federal election success into Statehouse dominance. League of Women Voters calls it "hyper-partisan."

With the Legislature about to return to Trenton after the summer slowdown, a top Republican lawmaker who may run for governor is urging an ambitious agenda.

New Jersey Democrats want to change the makeup of the commission that decides how the state’s legislative map is drawn every 10 years after the U.S. Census figures are released. Democrats said they want the panel to better reflect the state’s diversity and changing demographics.

A New Jersey appeals court has unanimously rejected a challenge to the state's legislative map by a tea party group and others.
