redistricting

Gerrymandered maps can seem kind of obvious. Districts that snake around cities or split up rural communities to benefit a single party. And the technology to do so has only gotten easier.

The Kentucky Democratic Party has appealed a recent court ruling that upheld Republican-drawn political maps for the state House of Representatives and Congress.

Republican lawmakers have overridden Gov. Beshear’s vetoes of redistricting maps and the Ky. Democratic Party is suing to block the plans.

Though Beshear’s vetoes will likely be overridden by the legislature, the maps could be ripe for a legal challenge once they become law.

Republicans will have an even easier time getting elected in Kentucky under new political maps passed by lawmakers on Saturday.

Redistricting maps released by the state Senate would make the state’s congressional and legislative districts friendlier for Republicans.

The body voted on cuts to the mayor’s federal relief spending plan, new political boundaries and police leadership’s union contract.

Eastern Kentucky's population decline has implications for how the area will look after political redistricting next year.
