Summary
Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., has introduced the FAIR MAP Act, aiming to reduce partisan influence in congressional redistricting. The bill proposes to prevent states from drawing districts based on party interests and sets limitations on redistricting frequency, mandating that it only occur once per decade following the U.S. census. Lawler has criticized efforts by Democrats in New York to redraw congressional boundaries ahead of the 2026 midterms. The legislation also seeks to block legal disputes over district changes from state courts, assigning them to federal judges instead.
