Michigan redistricting commission discusses stalemate scenario regarding its maps – By Clara Hendrickson (Detroit Free Press) / Nov 8 2021
The deadline for individual members of Michigan’s redistricting commission to submit their own maps passed Monday at 12 p.m. with the commission sticking with rules it previously adopted requiring individual commissioners’ maps to undergo a 45-day public comment period in order to be considered.
Three commissioners submitted their own maps, according to the commission’s communications and outreach director, Edward Woods III.
Rebecca Szetela, the independent chair of the commission, submitted a U.S. House, Michigan Senate and Michigan House map. Rhonda Lange, a Republican commissioner, submitted a U.S. House and state Senate map. And Brittni Kellom, a Democratic commissioner, submitted a state Senate map.
Some commissioners said they opted not to submit any because they would prefer to adopt a map drawn collaboratively by the group.
