State's new Redistricting Commission anticipates delay in receiving Census data
February 17, 2021
Last week, the U.S. Census Bureau announced states wouldn’t receive the data they need to draw new legislative maps until the end of September.
That could create problems for Michigan’s new Independent Citizen’s Redistricting Commission.
In a press conference Tuesday, Executive Director Sue Hammersmith said the commission hasn’t had a chance to talk about the delay yet but a plan should come together in the next few weeks.
