| Description | The Alaska Redistricting Board must redraw three Fairbanks-area House districts and another in the Aleutian chain, a state court judge ruled Friday.
Judge Michael P. McConahy, in a lengthy ruling, determined that House Districts 1, 2, 37 and 38 are not in harmony with the state Constitution. House Districts 1, 2 and 38 are in the Fairbanks area, with 1 and 2 urban districts and 38 parts urban and rural, stretching from Fairbanks to the Bering Sea. House District 37 splits the Aleutian chain.
McConahy found that House District 5, another in the Fairbanks area, did not violate a constitutional requirement for compactness.
The redistricting board has scheduled a meeting for Tuesday to discuss the decision and whether to appeal, executive director Taylor Bickford said. |
