Senator Moore is
the lead sponsor of two legislative amendments
to the Constitution relative to establishing
an independent redistricting commissions.
These bills
combine the best of parts laws adopted by
other states like Iowa and Arizona by
creating independent Massachusetts
redistricting commissions to redraw our
electoral maps. The plans would be developed
in a fully public, transparent process by
commissioners who, unlike legislators, have
no personal stake in the outcome. However,
the bills retain direct involvement of the
Legislature by giving lawmakers two
opportunities to accept or reject the
commission-developed plans. Through that
process, lawmakers can still be held
accountable by voters for their votes for or
against well-reasoned plans.
