state into districts for the purpose of
electing legislators is a boring sub-
ject that seems to have little rele-
vance to daily life. However, it is
one of those important civic activi-
ties that defines the quality of
democracy in North Dakota.
If no one else is interested, the
members of the Legislature certain-
ly' are because their seats are direct-
ly affected by the manner in which
the state is divided into distridts.
While the population of the state
has remained virtually the same as it
was in 2000, there has been consid-
erable change within the state. The
cities have grown and the rural
areas have lost population, meaning
that rural districts will once again
lose representation. The rural areas
have a particular stake in redistrict-
ing this year.
Redistricting is political dyna-
mite. Legislators are so sensitive to
redistricting thaP we have already
heard complaints about political
maneuvering to control the process.
Legislative Democrats who were
promised the right to name their
representatives on the 16-member
reapportionment committee ha:'e
accused House Majority Leader A1
Carlson of lying to them when he
changed his mind and limited their
choices.
This sort of behavior" is accepted
across the country as Republican
and Democratic legislators use their

a U. S. No. hit.

political muscle to divide the spoils.
Even when a majority party has
over two-thirds of the seats, as the
Republicans have in North Dakota,
it will try to draw the district bound-
aries to come up with a conple more
seats. It's similar to a hockey game
when the home town is leading by
10-to-1 and the fans are still
screaming for one more goal.
To throttle these legislative abus-
es of power, states have tried all
sorts of methods to neutralize parti-
san abuse of power. Few states
have found a method to make reap-
portionment less partisan and more
fair. Consequently, a large majority
of states continue to use the worst
method of all - redistricting by the
legislature itself.
The 1972 constitutional conven-
tion dealt with this subject by pro-
posing that a panel of district judges
do the redistricting. By the nature
of their work, judges treasure neu-
trality and fairness more than does a
legislative committeeshot through.
with self-interest. That proposal
died with the constitution.
The 16-member committee now
working on reapportionment was
formed under House Bill 1267
which provided for appointment of
the membership by the chair of the
Legislative Management
Committee. The committee is ,to
come up with a plan by October 31.
For all practical purposes, Citi-
zens will have very little input in the
redistricting process. Under HB
1267, plans developed by the com-
mittee are exempt from the open
records provisions in 44-04-17.1 of
the North Dakota Century Code
until distributed. Citizens will have
little time to study plans and make
counterproposals. They will be lim-
ited to complaining. Ru(al areas
especially should be concerned.
Even when developed in full
public view, reapportionment plans
are rife with political scheming and
chicanery. In drawing new bound-
aries, the usual priorities are as fol-
lows: (1) save your own seat; (2)
save the seats of your favorite fel-
low party members; (3) save the
seats of the rest of your party; (4)
reduce the number of seats held by
the opposite party, and (5) settle old
scores.
The Legislature should not be in
charge of redistricting in any state.
If it discovered such a conflict of
interest in the executive.branch, it
would be holding hearings and
impeaching officials. This conflict
of interest drives legislators often to
represent themselves more than the
people. To use an old adage, it's
akin to putting the tbx in charge of
the henhouse.
