Proposed draft maps for House districts offer glimpse at potential 2022 lines – Grand Haven Tribune

Every 10 years, Michigan has congressional, state House and state Senate lines redrawn. In 2018, Michigan voters passed a ballot proposal that shifted the responsibility of drawing lines from the state’s Legislature to a commission made up of state residents as a way to avoid partisan “gerrymandering,” or drawing districts in a way that favor one political party over the other.
