Jeff Wice was recently featured on the National Journal’s “Expert Blogs.”  Mr. Wice was one of seven national experts who responded to a question asking, what matters more in redistricting: the GOP’s edge in statehouse control or a Democratic Department of Justice. Mr. Wice responded that he believes it is too early to tell. He wrote, “[w]e’ve already seen Republican efforts to ‘pack’ minority residents fall short in New Jersey’s commission-based redistricting,” but also noted that “[i]n Virginia’s divided control legislature, Democrats and Republicans created plans designed to improve both majorities only to end up with a Governor’s veto.”  Mr. Wice’s entire response can be viewed here.
