Update on Federal law prohibiting mid-decade state redistricting
UPDATE: J.J. Gass suggests to me that Congress might have the power to prohibit the practice for congressional districts under the Elections Clause (the same clause that gives Congress the power to require states to use single-member districts. Less clear is the power to prohibit the practice for the state legislature or other bodies. The theory there perhaps would be Congress's enforcement powers under the 14th or 15th Amendments---a theory that would be quite shaky under current jurisprudence.
