Reapportionment and Redistricting in the West

In Reapportionment and Redistricting in the West, Gary F. Moncrief brings together some of the best-know scholars in the field to explore the unique processes and problems of redistricting in the western United States.  In particular, western states tend to be geographically large and experiencing rapid population growth.  Demographically, western states are different as well, with rapidly growing Latino populations.  In many western states, redistricting is achieved through independent redistricting commissions'¬ ;a process rarely found in other regions
