Abstract: As part of a widespread frustration with partisan gerrymandering, many states have considered or implemented redistricting reforms – and others will eventually have to – that include a higher degree of citizen participation in proposing and evaluating redistricting plans. In some states without redistricting reform, public interest groups have created shadow commissions that encourage citizens to submit their own maps. For example, the new map for Pennsylvania Congressional districts, chosen by the state Supreme Court, was proposed by a citizens group.
