Johnson Post on redistricting: ‘Here’s an idea: Let Ben do it’

Marc Johnson's "Johnson Post" blog today offers an alternative on Idaho's current redistricting mess, saying, "When Idaho’s “citizen” reapportionment panel deadlocked recently everyone in the state looked to the Big Man on the second floor of the state capitol building for guidance. And for good reason. Ben Ysursa has forgotten more about Idaho’s election process than most of us could ever hope to know. So here’s a novel idea that will never happen, but should – let Ben draw the lines. I apologize in advance to my friend, Ysursa, but stay with me." You can read Johnson's full post here.
