Whether a measure to overhaul how Michigan draws its political lines goes on the November ballot will be decided by the Michigan Supreme Court.
The court heard arguments about the case today.
The measure would create a commission made up of Republicans, Democrats and Independents. That commission would then draw the state’s political district lines.
At the hearing, opponents argued the measure would change too much of the constitution and change the powers of Michigan’s government.
Katie Fahey is the leader of Voters Not Politicians. That’s the group behind the measure.
“Actually I think it’s a fight about whether the people of Michigan can be trusted to amend our own constitution or not.”
A representative for the Secretary of State asked the court to decide the case by early August. The final ballot has to be certified by September 7th.
