when creating fair and competitive maps. The last-minute maneuver by Commissioner Mehl showed his willingness to prioritize GOP interests over fair representation for Arizona voters, which is completely counter to the spirit of the Independent Redistricting Commission.
The IRC must listen to the Indigenous leaders who are advocating for their community’s freedom to vote and their right to fair representation in Arizona’s legislature. There is still time to get this right and we hope the IRC follows its constitutional duties to do so.
