The Alaska Redistricting Board unanimously approved the state’s final political map Monday after twice being found engaging in unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering.
by then-Senate President Cathy Giessel, a Republican. He encouraged his fellow board members to approve the interim map, and said that “I think it will cause the least amount of disruption for the public.”
Bethany Marcum, CEO of the conservative Alaska Policy Forum and another Dunleavy appointee, said that the court made clear that Eagle River should not divided, but she didn’t think it would be a “heavy lift” to discuss if there was a better way to comply with the decision.“I just fear that by adopting the court-mandated plan that the board — the constitutional board — would be surrendering our discretion to the courts,” she said.
“The Court inferred that because the three Republican appointees voted the same way, they must have had some improper agreement in advance rather than the logical inference that they each individually reached the same conclusion,” she said by text message.
