COLUMBUS -- Random thoughts on apportionment and legislative redistricting, the processes that likely will solidify which political party controls state government and Ohio's voice in Washington, D.C., over the next 10 years: -- Think it's easy to draw legislative district lines to be compact and politically competitive?
Six appeals court judges from across the state have created the new boundaries for the state's 163 House districts and 34 Senate seats. The Missouri Appellate Apportionment Commission filed redistricting plans and maps with Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan's office, the commission announced late Wednesday.

To the Census Bureau's dismay, [Miguel Rivera] has urged undocumented immigrants not to fill out the census forms. "It's our greatest bargaining chip," he said. "The states and counties want the funding, and we want the legalization." Rivera's campaign has received considerable attention, and while many Latino leaders disagree with his approach, he is convinced that threatening to withhold the instruments of federal funding is the way to attract politicians to the table. The issue has made Rivera and U.S. Sen. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, unlikely bedfellows. Vitter, along with several other conservatives in Congress, supported an unsuccessful effort last fall to exclude noncitizens from apportionment and redistricting counts. "I don't believe noncitizens should be counted in c...

WASHINGTON - With jobs and federal aid at stake, U.S. cities are lining up to contest their 2010 census counts as too low. A decade ago, there were 1,200 challenges filed by cities, towns and counties. The U.S. Conference of Mayors is predicting a big jump in that number, due in part to tighter budgets that make local officials more sensitive to potential drop-offs in federal money for Medicaid and other programs. Nearly $450 billion in federal aid is distributed to states based on population each year, or roughly $1,500 per person.

In three weeks, new boundaries for Missouri House and Senate districts will be announced. What won't be announced will be when, where and by what vote the map was approved by the panel of judges responsible for drawing the new districts. As in the past, the Appellate Apportionment Commission meetings are not posted, and all sessions other than a single public hearing have been closed.

The Obama White House kicked a hornet's nest when it briefly contemplated taking direct control of the Census Bureau, a plan that, thankfully, the administration has abandoned. Nevertheless, the spotlight remains on the bureau, which, according to a recent Government Accountability Office report, is behind in critical preparations for the 2010 census.
