ND lawmakers meet and continue discussions after judge finds voting map violates the Voting Rights Act

(Bismarck, ND) — The North Dakota Redistricting Committee is continuing meetings after a judge found two districts were in violation of the Voting Right’s act.

The ruling from the judge says the recently approved maps were in violation after a lawsuit from the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa and the Spirit Lake Reservation. Lawmakers are now looking at four options, two that were created or proposed by the judge or the Chippewa or Spirit Lake nations, and two others created by the lawmakers themselves.

The Redistricting Committee is looking to meet again Tuesday.
