The Connecticut Supreme court denied four Republican lawmakers' motion to remove a Stanford law professor appointed to help draw redistricting lines.
denied a motion Republican lawmakers filed against the court's appointment of Stanford law professor Nathanial Persily to help redraw Connecticut's congressional district lines.
Four Republican members of the commission filed the motion on December 24 asking the court to reverse its decision to appoint Persily. Instead, they asked that two special masters—one Republican and one Democrat—be appointed. They argued having one from each party would"preserve the public's confidence in the fairness of the redistricting process."
In the court's decision, it said the lawmakers' request"borders on frivolous," adding that it"rejected in the strongest possible terms" the implication that Persily's appointment had anything to do with partisanship.
