List serve members--I am looking into whether any State has ever undertaken
statewide redistricting (congressional or legislative) twice in a decade
when there has not been a court order invalidating a plan.  I am aware of
many cases where a Legislature went back and redrew boundaries after a court
found the plan or districts unconstitutional, or violative of the Voting
Rights Act, or after the Department of Justice interposed an objection under
Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.  But to the best of my knowledge not a
single state has ever redistricted a second time within the decade absent
such a court decision or Section 5 objection. Are list serve members aware
of any instances in any state?  Thank you.
