1912 Community Center (Moscow, Idaho)
| "Redistricting
        in Idaho: What's Coming" was the topic of a panel discussion at the
        League of Women Voters of Moscow forum at Moscow's 1912 Center..  The
        presentation provided history on redistricting, an update on where Idaho
        stands on the issue, and information on a League of Women Voters of
        Idaho initiative, People Powered Fair Maps. During the past two
        legislative sessions, there have been unsuccessful efforts to change the
        Idaho constitution’s requirements of an independent redistricting
        commission so the majority party has control. It is likely to be
        introduced again in the 2020 legislative session since redistricting
        occurs in 2021 based on the federal census. 
         The
        panelists include:  David
        Nelson of Moscow, an Idaho state senator serving on the Transportation,
        Agricultural Affairs, and Health and Welfare Committees; Kathy Dawes, a
        long-time Moscow resident, who has served on several city and county
        boards; and Mary Bostick, a 40-year resident of Moscow who serves
        actively in several organizations, including the League of Women Voters.
