New 2022 voting maps proposed for Montana’s PSC districts
KBZK reports:
"Those suing to redraw Montana’s Public Service Commission districts for the 2022 election submitted three proposed new district maps to a federal court this week – each of which makes changes to all five PSC district boundaries.
Each map is different, but they all add counties to northeastern Montana’s District 1, whose population is far below the equitable population benchmark of 216,800 people, and subtract counties from districts 3 and 5, which are western Montana districts well above the population benchmark.
“There is no perfect map, but the remedy does not need to be perfect – it simply needs to be lawful and equitable,” wrote Constance Van Kley, an attorney for the three plaintiffs."
