Extra: Redistricting Impacts on Minority Communities

Rudy Soto, chairman of the Idaho Democratic Party’s Native American Democrats Caucus, outlines his concerns with the state’s redistricting process and what the new maps mean for minority representation across the state. On Wednesday, Nov. 10, the redistricting commission held its final meeting to approve electoral maps and a final report. The commissioners finished their work before the legal deadline at the end of the month, and now the maps face likely legal challenges before eventually coming into play in the spring 2022 primaries.
