The judicial branch is telling us how to stop political gerrymandering - a law or constitutional amendment, at the state or federal level.
The key word in their opinions is "unenumerated." We just need to make gerrymandering for -any- reason an ENUMERATED ...
So, anyone know how to force a to the ballot without it being initiated by the legislature?
Here's a big chunk of an article about a case challenging .
"In a brief 13-page unpublished opinion released Wednesday, Judge Chris Freeman wrote that because the lawsuit’s central claim is “at its core an allegation that the General Assembly acted to change districts to give one party or group an advantage in the upcoming election,” it lies beyond the authority of the state courts.
“Plaintiffs rely on an unenumerated right to fair elections as the limitation on the General Assembly’s authority to gerrymander on a partisan basis,” Freeman wrote. “Because we review whether the General Assembly violated an express provision of our constitution, plaintiffs’ reliance on an unenumerated right cannot be the basis for an unconstitutional act of the General Assembly.”
Both the U.S. Supreme Court and North Carolina Supreme Court have ruled that the issue of partisan gerrymandering falls outside of their jurisdiction."
