520 _aREPS. WORK TO HOLD ONTO THEIR JOBS -- "Reps. Maurice Hinchey, Gary Ackerman and Nydia Velazquez usually are on the receiving end of a lobbyist's pitch. Now the New York Democrats, trying to hang on to their jobs, are the ones hiring the lobbyists. In an unusual, perhaps unprecedented attempt at political self-preservation, the three are paying lobbyists to try to persuade state lawmakers to retain their three congressional districts when new election lines are redrawn based on the 2000 census." (PENINSULA CLARION) This article details how Democratic members of Congress are fighting to ensure that their positions will not be affected by new election lines.
520 _aSUPREME COURT UPHOLDS REDRAWING OF N.C. DISTRICT -- "The Supreme Court voted 5-4 Wednesday [April 18, 2001] to uphold North Carolina's creation of a heavily black congressinal district, rejecting white voters' claims that the meandering district was unconstitutional...The ruling will allow states to draw zigzagging boundaries that consolidate voters of a particular race, as long as officials can justify their plans with reasons other than race." (USA TODAY) This article examines the Supreme Court ruling that will help guide states in redistricting Congressional seatgs based on the 2000 Census.
520 _aREDISTRICTING FUELS PARTISAN FRENZY -- "From Sacramento to Albany, the nation's political future is quietly taking shape in the legislative back rooms of America." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article examines the partisan process of redistributing congressional districts to adjust for the 2000 Census population figures.
